Can i ask someone to have a go photshoping my mirrors?

I was thinking a faint italian flag over the entire mirror, or as another option, on the tip of the miror..

I have these mirrors on roofless - they are problematic.

you cannot put enough pressure on the bolt that holds the mirror in place - to get them up to the tolerance that you actually need, to stop them sagging under wind resistance at speed, the plastic shroud on the door mount section splits really easily - they have to be bonded into the 'useable' position with sicoflex or similar to get them to stay put.

otherwise, nice mirrors - good shape and actually a good rear view.

cheers for the reponse roofless, however i have had these on my mini for around a year now, never had a problem with them...just getting round to painting, and thinking of something different than just black satin..

Are they Violanti Calafornian mirrors?

If so, i had loked at those a while back, they look really nice

hi m44, yes they are Violanti Calafornian mirrors, look really good on the car i think, and excellent visibility (which has surprised alot of people)...

i was lucky enough to find someone on ebay selling them (used but in excellent condition)...at a fraction of the deamon tweaks price...

i did quite alot of research on these to get the best deal...

here is a ink to a site showing a load of Violanti mirrors
