seen 1 with m3 style mirrors, looked dreadful, you can see the backing of the mounting plate through the window!! i my opinion i dont think they'd fit any way neatly atal!

please dont fit them to a mini, i cant see where they will fit properly and they are completly out of whack with the mini styling, unless you have plans for a super funky body kit.
Dont forget Old school is cool M3 mirrors for a tool.
No insult to the OP is meant with the last comment please ammend accordingly if i have caused offence

If they where 30% smaller I could see them working but they just don't seem to scale with a Mini.

then refitted them like this, with the larger plate and no vibration, with a tweeter plate on the inside to cover the plate for the mirrors. As i have them fitted i am biased to like them but on my other mini i have the standard door mirrors but can see less from them than my M3 style. One of the best things for me about mini's is there never seems to be 2 cars exactly the same, so Jamie if you want to fit them do what ever you want it's your car after all. Rant over.
