So i bought these ITAL / Porsche mirrors. I got them from Nk trading, and while they where listed as mini mirrors, i new they wouldn't be a direct bolt on mirror.

The original bolt and pin were a pretty close match to the original holes on a late mine, but not close enough. The mirrors also bolted from behind the base. I didn't want to drill new holes in my doors so did the following.

I also noticed two sets for sale here on the forum, and thought i would offer my way of fitting them.

I basically drilled right through the hosing to accommodate the spacing of the original mini holes. Yeah the bolts are visible, but i think it adds to the look.

Obviously not as good as the original rectangular ones, but it ain't bad. The glass is nice and big. Bigger than any of the standard bullets

Look Great! I find that round mirrors aren't bad at all, aslong as they have convex glass in :thumbsup:
