Hey everyone. 

 

I bought the mini below and drove it up the coast of Italy. With no mirrors. 

The car definitely needs some work which I am currently taking care of, but I dont know much about how I want it to look. 

Can you guys help me decide on some mirrors? 

I dont want wing mirrors, and I would like them to kind of match the cars aesthetic (70's, italian-english, clean), but I am open to options. 

If you could attach a picture or a link also, I would appreciate it. 

Thank you everyone!

Seam strip over taking mirrors, reversible without drilling any holes

NO idea. Seems that the italians didnt really care much for safety. 

No seatbelts, no seat restraint bar, no hazard lights, no mirrors.

But I have like 4 ashtrays.

What year is it? Many Minis only had an interior rear view mirror. I remember being pulled over they a police 911 in Belgium/Netherlands wanting to ask me where my rear view mirrors were. Me in the passenger seat pointed to the interior one. Cop then realized I did not have a wheel in front of me! This was a 67 Mini IIRC.

don't know about the Italian rules but 2 mirrors (total) were not required in the UK until 1978. so i would be looking at an add on rather than a later standard one.
