Something like the ones on the mk6 would be sweet, surely someone has retro fitted something from a VW, Audi or similar... Or am I the only one who wants smooth wings..??? Just looking to strip off as much as I can from the body work plans are smooth tail with number plate recess in rear bumper, debugged rear and removal of rear wiper, smoothed bonet with washers moved to windscreen scuttle panel and smooth wings....
I'll load pics when it's all done but these wing mirrors are defo holding me up!!!

Ive just finished smoothing the tailgate,removing side repeater holes and aerial hole and ive plastic welding a MK4 Golf numberplate recess into the back bumper.

Wing mirrors is my next step,i dont want standard ones,i did look at the mk3.5 stubby ones and they looked into getting a LHD drivers side stubby for the other side to match,but its been done quite a lot.

Cue me looking at every single car i walk past looking at mirrors that i can modify to fit the mk3. :grin:

As for having side repeaters for the MOT,well my brother is an MOT tester and does all my work,but he said he would have to fail me for having no side repeaters,so im just going to run a couple of wires from the existing wiring and stick some hideous flashing lights on the wing mirrors(whatever ones i decide on) and take them off as soon as i leave.

All in the hope i dont get stopped more than once otherwise i will just get some us spec side repeaters and  pop them in the bumper.

Liking the look of Scirroco R mirrors atm

Im not big on smooth looking mk3s if im honest but everyone different im just not sure how indicators in the mirrors would look on a mk3 as its a pretty dated shape now and the indictaor in mirrors suits far newer models but still prove me wrong be intresting to see what it looked like.

I suspect the first pair still wouldn't pass an MOT as I think they have to be positioned to be seen from the side.

Why not just drill a few LED's into the current mirrors?? Two or three down the side would be enough if you got the super bright ones, plus they'd hardly be noticeable if they were flushed flat...
