Hi Bustamoves,


You would not believe how long it took me to find these mirrors.


There seems to be a lot of copies out there at a low price, but as you tend to get what you pay for, I did not what to go with them.


I found a company that sell the originals, Rallytech Ltd, They are made to order, and well made, about four weeks, they are not cheap, but they do give a good discount if you ask, which helps.


Two small problems, one is that you lose 50% vision, which I already knew about, and find acceptable.


And the second thing is, that I have a dash dodger rollcage, and the nearside mirror is slightly obscured by the rollcage, but I can live with that, but it maybe something for others to think about if they have the same rollcage.


Hope this helps you.

Don't think there are exactly the same, not sure these are carbon fibre.
















But they are cheaper because Rallytechs are plus vat.

Hi the Trooper,


I guess it's up to the induvidual what they want.


I was after the same ones that where on the rally cars, and seeing as they are the ones that produced them, is why I went for them.


But I see nothing wrong with ICP ones if you don't want Carbon, (whom supply a very good service should anyone wish to use them).


Yours PJ

I read something about there being two different styles, early Group A and then later Group A/WRC?

Here's an old pic of my car. The mirrors must be at least from 2005, possibly even older. I have no idea what they are but they are carbon fibre at least
?

Not at all mate, I think maybe you misunderstood me, as there was no malice intended.

Ha Ha nice try Busta, but I'm keeping them, Lol.


The one's you have are nice, but sometimes we all get fussy and have something in our mind that we like, and are just not happy until we get what we set out to get originally.


I hope you get the one's you are looking for eventually.
