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.

I do absolutely agree with Scotty that it is his car and he can mount whichever mirrors he likes. Sorry if I offended anyone with my comments.
I have had several friends in the past that had changes their mirrirs, then wanted to go back to the originals, so that was the basis of my comment. Kind of like what happened with all the slant-nosed monochromatic 911 turbos from the Miami Vice days. |

Kind of like what happened with all the slant-nosed monochromatic 911 turbos from the Miami Vice days. Yeah, me too, and I still haven't found any I really like. But they're just mirrors so change them over, change them back, no big deal. On the OTHER hand if someone comes up with an outstanding modern option I'm first in line. Mini mirrors don't appear to be it (Escort either BTW) but there are others out there and who knows? |
