I like having the big mirrors if I'm honest as they let you see so much more

I'll do it later once kids are in bed.
I want to give them a good detail first. There's a couple of stone chips I want to touch up and polish. General wax up too.
Will look good.
Been told they're like hens teeth to get hold of.

Thought I'd post up a couple pics of my little 1.5 rx daily, less power than a ride on mower but fun to mod and use as a daily driver for work...

You will also find that they don't have heated mirrors so to retain you will need to change the glass (available from SUK) and add a couple of wires.
stripped down for adding heated mirror wiring

If your car hasn't got heated mirrors it won't matter anyway then.

they've been on ImParts a few times and keep coming down, the base would be a better buy as the side bolsters start to go over time don't they

I like my big mirrors - they give me a good view of whats behind me - usually a slower JDM Hatch !

Yep found that thanks, a guy is after my MY11 STI and the Recaros are too snug so is thinking about dropping these in as they are a direct fit. If he decides to have my car I'll get your number if that is ok so he can sort out with you direct.
Thanks
