Hey all,

Is there any chance that you could post some pictures of your mini's if you have the exterior mirrors which clamp onto the A pillar?

I'm going for a period look, so do you think it would be best to just have the driver's mirror as a clamp on and the passenger as a door mounted, or both clamp mounted?

Thanks in advance

James :)

I would also like to see some pictures, do they clamp on tight or do they loosen off?
thanks

Hey James,
Here's what you are after I think. Both my mates use them and this is one of their cars, can't seem to find any photos of my other mates car.
They do look quite good, especially higher up the a pillar.
I would have said only one mirror, but depends on age of car wether you have to have 2, but either way i'd make them both the same type.

Dave.

I ran with only an internal and drivers side mirror for a while (I believe this is the minimum required). I used the rectangular type as shown above and it is absolutely useless as a mirror.

Not only is it small and narrow but it vibrated so much that you could only make a semi-educated guess at what was behind you. Not very safe so I changed it soon after fitting.

I know this isn't the best advert but I think I've still got it in the garage if you'd like to buy it? :D

Thanks everyone, I'm just thinking about it at the moment, there is more important things to purchase at the moment such as outer sills, door steps etc first :P
