i'm guessing the reason your bullet mirrors were rubbish was because you had the fixed position bullet WING mirrors fitted to your doors, instead of the Bullet DOOR mirros that have adjustable bases..... If not, I apoligise, I've always found the bullet door mirrors offer great adjustability and vision.... though it does also depend on your driving position etc.

The adjustable bullets are made for this very purpose, that is, for your doors. They are great IMO, i love them and feel they offer, they are usable too. good adjustability and good vision.

Adjustables use the standard mini screw holes and adapters for TEX style mirrors....

these are the mirrors clicky me!

and these are the kinda mounts they fit to (the black bits), but the mirrors usually come with these.

click me too

Yep, Huey has Tex-style mirrors for a wider view when the glassfibre canopy is on the back, and adjustable bullets for everyday use. They have a common base so it takes no time to swap them.

Erm but I hadn't got the Tex ones when the photo in the sig was taken :genius:

Right then,
As i have these -http://www.minisport.com/classic-mini-shop/products/exterior-chrome-badges-decals/mirrors/bullet-mirror-chrome-product.html

on my mini, on the doors as u know. but are the fitting holes on my bullets the same width as the ajustable one. as i dont want to get the ajustable bullet and they dont fit..

Mirrors mirrors , cant deside lol im doing my own head, not sure what im doing to u guys lol
How about these ? and what u mean by tex

They look the same. My tex are heavier and better made than my bullet ones. They have the same base and fixing system because the guy who sold them me made sure of it. Do your bullets fix on to the plastic base with a grub screw?
