Default Carbon fibre mirrors, Now fitted! Quick clean as well!

Fitted my Carbon Fibre mirrors, think they work well with the car, can't see sod all out of them though lol!
Mirrors now all fitted bit of a pain in the **** as a screw was buggered, so door cards off and hacksaw out, gave me a chance to re grease all the window mechanism.

Anyways fitted:

As far as I'm concerned they are inferior to the standard electric adjustable standard mirrors. They aren't even practical. Can you actually use them?

Electric mirrors don't bother me you set them once in your life and they stay in that position so I manually set these and there fine, to be honest there not that bad can see fine in them but I'm used to mirrors that aren't practical due to my work van and my MK2 golf I had a mirror delete done lol

I was considering the folding power JDM mirrors but these came up cheaper in the end and there about the same width as the power ones folded in haha

Hi mate thanks, I'm unsure what make it is...I originally wanted one like this and manged to buy one from a SN member but it broke as he removed it.
I was gutted as I'd never seen one before like it, then my mate stumbled upon this on some Jap site and I bought it.
Sorry not much help

Any chance of a couple of photos looking into the mirros (maybe from the drivers seat) just to try and get an idea of what the visibilities like? I reckon they look pretty good but as other people have said, I can see them restricting visibility quite a bit.

Cheers

That car does look amazing. The only thing it needs is tinted rear windows IMO.

Yeah mate I can take some for you tomorrow, it's not to bad to be honest though you can see enough behind you it's more at angles you can't

Thanks LDNSTI I appreciate that! I'm thinking that could be a mod to put on the list, maybe in spring time!
