Something ive been debating doing for a while. They look great on yours.

Where did you get them from and whats the quality like?

Although i have been looking at a few different custom, carbon mirrors that are a little different to that of the normal WRC type.

Some closer pics would be cool mate

Whats next for your car fella?

if they are as bad as the WRC mirrors on a classic you can see bugger all out of them and they make overtaking and manoeuvring a nightmare. Shame because they look so good

I bought them on e-bay for £120. They are great quality the same as the ones you get from Scoobyparts and are an exact match to the B-pillar covers and Cardon STi Blanker. I got with the car. They fitted great and look even better up close.

I thought that the Visablity was going to be bad but there not that bad. I can see the side of the car and the opisit lane wheater it be on the left or the right side when driving and there are no blind spots. Doesn't effect over taking. Sure the stock mirror is bigger so you can see more but these are not bad at all.

I was at a meeting with the irish club i'm in last night and a few of the lads had the same question but when they sat in and had a look they to where amazed that it wasn't as bad as they thought.

They look far better then stock mirrors to. Well I think so.

Thanks very much Wulsey. They really are good quality. I remember you getting them on your. I posted then that I was looking for a set and seeing yours made up my mind.

I just got a house so not much for the moment.

In the near futrue I'll get white line bushins, drop links and an anti lift kit when I can.

Next year though I want to get a bigger turbo, a front mount intercooler and a map adjustment. Could be PMing you fo info in the future.

I would love to get Speedline corse turini 8x18" in white. A mate of mine has a set but won't let them go. Their hard to get over here, I tried before I bought the GRA's so I'll wait awhile and see if I can pick a set up in the future. No rush though.

They are in closer to the car so I can still see the side of the car and the foot path
so no problem Parking that I can see.
