Re: Wing mirrors You're limited due to the design of the doors compared to modern cars - we can't fit ours on the "top" of the door without surgery to the window surround - so you'll be looking at kit and classic suppliers - like cbsonline or Europa.
Saying that, somewhere down the line I will be converting mine to mount on top of the door, which will give me a bit of extra metal in the surround to re-bend it and take up the gap at the back of the door.

Re: Wing mirrors https://www.europaspares.com/MIRRORS/EXTERIOR_MIRRORS/CLASSIC_DOOR_MIRROR_2818.htmlThese were fitted on my last Coupe and I'm going to have them on the new one too. But there are plenty of options from places like europa, svc etc.

Re: Wing mirrors Yeah, I know there are probably plenty of options around, but here in Ireland its a bit harder to source so I would like ones that are known to fit so I can just buy them knowing they will work.

Re: Wing mirrors SPA mirrors,
I run the lemans/gt size ones, expensive but i like them, saying that i have ended up replacing the light weight plastic mirror for a glass mirror in the same housing, as the plastic ones dont seem to like the summer and distort very slightly, making it hard to see whats behind you and not something i was happy about but a quick upgrade and all sorted.

Re: Wing mirrors Iv fitted the mirrors from an MPi Mini Cooper on mine. Had bullit mirrors on when I got it but as good as they look I couldnt see a thing. The MPi mini Mirrors provide good visibility and are a decent size.

Re: Wing mirrors I've got Ferrari 308GTB copies on mine (I think they're 308GTB - I'm a bit fuzzy on that one). You can get them from Europa but they often pop up on ebay cheaper. In fact http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Ferrari-308-GTB-G ... 240%3A1318I certainly didn't pay that much for them though (maye that much for the pair). I think there's a picture of my car in the Stafford show thread where you should be able to see them. Iain

Re: Wing mirrors They look like Vitaloni Californias - I had them on my Lancia Montecarlo.
