I have a recently got a new car that has 2 broken vitaloni mirrors...I can't believe that the original mirrors are $100+ for one that is in mediocre shape. I need a set of mirrors or 2 replacement bases for my vitaloni mirrors. What are some options?

Used Vitaloni's are about $20 in the classifieds section here or on e-Bay. That's about all they're worth, but if your car's already re-drilled for them they're probably your best choice. Alternatively you can adapt some other car's mirrors, but keep in mind that not all mirrors fit the nearly horizontal mounting position of the 914, so it's best if you can find a thread describing someone else's work, to know going in if it's viable and how much work.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) that was my first thought too. Even though I was trying to admire those mirrors....I kept getting distracted by that. But those mirrors remind me of the later RX7 mirrors. I've posted before about how much I love those on a 914. |

ConeDodger: I just realized, those front fenders are not common. A complete mismatch. The unusual design exxagerates the appearance of high ride height even more.
Ok, distraction over. I don't get the front fenders, but I love those mirrors! |

Ha ha those pictures were taken just after I assembled the car. Within 2 days it was dialed down and aligned.
Here it is at factory ride height. Fenders are just FG flares added. (and I love it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif) ) Attached image(s)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Much better now--- both the ride height and the lighting. The exposure on the other photo tricked me - didn't look like a front GT fender to me.
Now we just have to talk about that rear spoiler. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) Kidding Doug. Nice looking car. And back on topic - great looking mirrors. I remember admiring your mirror project from back when. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
