Sorry to keep rack peoples brains, but is it easy to replace the mirrors on these types of mirrors, as can get my hands on a pair but the mirrors are shot.

to be honest, stay clear of them, bullet mirrors are sh!te, they look ok but are a total waiste of time if you want to actually use them as you can't see a thing with them.

Yep

there is a screw at the point of the bullet.

undo it with a fat headed screw driver and out pops the mirror at the other end

u can also losen this screw slightly and move the glass a bit then re tighten
so u do get some adjustment.

dont get them their useless to see out of miniman5 has them and you cant see a thing behind you with them you can only see a little bit of the ground beside you

We bought some old style ones for TC's Hatter, but didn't want to drill into the door so bought some new ones from The Mini Shop I think. They weren't very good quality so I used the old mirrors and new brackets to fit them. With a bit of setting up to get the angle right, you can see perfectly well. Yes, they do restrict your vision a bit but the mirror surface is only a little bit smaller and as you should always look around you when manouvering anyway I think they are Ok and look much better than the great big boxy ones.

I am not sure why you would be looking at the ground beside you through your mirrors, unless you are used to driving trucks!

Well I don't agree, I think they look great and do a perfectly good job :tongue:

I had bullets on my old mini and they worked fine.

I actually drilled another hole into the door and angled the mirror upwards and then tilted the glass down so I could see in each mirror fully.

I am a biker too so i always check my shoulder before manouvering anway!

Ive got the normal mirrors now but they are chrome, and they go with the style of the car!
