So I'm buying these http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/m3_style_door_mirrors.html (http://www.body-kit.co.uk/acatalog/m3_style_door_mirrors.html)
(the electric ones) for my Golf GTI Mk3 (P reg) and need to know whether to get the 3 or 4 wire ones??
Advice much appreciated, thanks.
-
Think its 3.. M3 mirrors are abit dated IMO though! :sick:
-
Thanks.
Dated? What do you prefer? :smiley:
-
My current ones are black colour coded original spec, but the previous owner has grazed the paint on the offside at some point and the nearside glass is cracked. I'm getting some sportier skirts so thought I'd go for sportier wing mirrors too..? Is that not cool? :grin:
I'm new to all this modification stuff. And female, so can get away with it looking a bit pansy.
-
Quite like the DTM cup style ones. Definitely none of the ones with indicators on, they're gash.
-
Its just really dated styling nowwer days, I would personaly buy some original mirrors but if your really wanting to go down the "sporty" look go for the DTM style as said!
-
as has been said... dated.. mind you... if you want your car to start looking like a nova or a saxo then this is an excellent starting point... :wink: :smiley:
-
Spare me the sarcasm, funnyboy.
I think the DTM's look sexy.

They look good so long as you keep it all subtle.. It pays to be different, would be borin if we all did the same, just none of us like the thouhgt of a spoilt Golf! Where you from by the way Bear you look familiar :undecided:
-
beat mirrors for a mk3 are whats referred to as mk3.5 (as fitted to the cabrio after 98 with the mk3 shell and mk4 front)... nice and o.e direct fit but nicer looking

vw never made a true mk4 cab...they used the mk3 shell fitted with a mk4 front end and rear lights... known as the mk3.5

-
Tried ebay in the past and findin a mk3.5 cab breakin is like findin a needle in a haystack lol Would love some and a mk3.5 steering wheel but not at them prices!
-
Ah ok, thanks bradley.
I went ahead n bought the DTM's yesterday anyway.
-
would be good to see the pics when you have them fitted... apologies if my remarks earlier seemed snobby... I guess it is just each to their own :smiley:

DTM's look poo on a mk3
Why???????

because BearFresh thought we were suffering from mk3 snobbery on this thread by not liking her DTMness... so I was trying to make her feel welcome... and show that we weren't snobs and were just offering opinion.
I have an open mind to all of this... just because I don't think something suitable doesn't mean it isn't suitable for someone else.
i think if someone is doing something tastefully (open to interpretation) then it's cool... personally I am not into 'max powering' a car with body kits etc like the nova chavs but it is each to their own... as has been rather well demonstrated within this particular thread... and as Rich said... it would be boring if we all did the same thing to our cars!
just hope Bear's car doesn't end up like this... http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=26647 (http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=26647)
