I was alongside a Mini Cooper at a light yesterday and could not help but notice that it's outer mirrors mount at a very similar position relative to the door and that the door "seemed" to have the same approximate curve. The car had some factory sticker expousing Greenism so it is likely a more recent Mini, if it matters. Any thoughts or similar observations? BTW, those mirrors look NICE.

To make it easier to fit some types you may look at the SPa bases that Pegasus sells. Allowed me to get rid of the giant bases on my baby flags.

QUOTE(geniusanthony @ Jul 30 2011, 07:18 PM)  To make it easier to fit some types you may look at the SPa bases that Pegasus sells. Allowed me to get rid of the giant bases on my baby flags. These look interesting. I hadn't heard of Pegasus before, but seems like I've seen these on a 914 and they looked good. My issue with the factory mirrors (and the Vitaloni units that came on my car) is that they get knocked out of adjustment so easily. I like the idea of modern mirrors that have the foldable head which snaps back in place without losing the mirror adjustment. The visibility of non-stock mirrors is also preferable to me. The mirror size and "set screw" approach of the Pegasus mirrors sounds like a good approach. |
