As post title - what mirrors would you put on a MK2 Austin ?

Pic attached of my baby brum brum, taken 2 weeks ago .... there has been progress since !
She has been sitting in the garage for 8 years and will be coming back to life in the next few weeks

Originally there was a very manky mirror fitted on the wing, I'd like to fit new mirrors on the doors ... chrome bullet mirrors ????

What dooo yah reckon ?

[jack_marshall]

not much help but i wouldnt be putting the cheap chrome bullet mirrors on that.

what did they come with? how about the downton mirrors, they look good.

or just possibly an overtaking mirror on the a post seam>

got a pair of used bullit mirrows that fit the wings i think if you what

There was a very manky mirror on the driver's wing. Sort of rectangular affair on a long stalk. I won't be putting it back on, personally I don't like wing mirrors on minis, I find it spoils the lines of the front end. I like the idea of just an overtaking mirror on the seam and am wondering what implications that has over here for the M.O.T

i had bullett mirror on my mini first of all you think there wonderful as you get such a wide angle but they get annoying how about some tex ones i have them on mine now

[Retro_10s]

if you go for bullet (this seems to be coming up a lot) make sure you buy the right ones.

the fixed type are for you wings.
the adjustables are for your doors.

If you put the fixed type on your doors you will pretty much not have mirrors that are usable. sorry if i'm preaching to the already knoweledged, but the amount of people that buy fixed ones and then complain about vision only to be told they've fitted wing mirrors by accident is obscene!

If it were me I’d go for the tex ones, although I’m also going to fit and overtaking mirror on the passenger side as well, as I can’t get full adjustment (probably the way I like to have the mirrors adjusted)

[blacktulip]

i would go for the one bullet but the proper adjustable one. if u want two then tex definately.

I've got the tex ones, as above but in satin black instead of chrome. Looks a little different.
