Philmo 0 Posted September 27, 2009 Whilst the suggestion does grate a little - I have to agree they are a nice lookin' mirror. Was admiring them on my daughter's pearlecent BRG 5 only yesterday! They will add a bit to the car width though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

biggrim 0 Posted September 29, 2009 Did Jay Renshaw not have these fitted to his Corrado when he was building it? Think his username is 24vrenshaw thesedays. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats right, car now owned by Vick N, and a stunning example it is, mirrors are still on. Lots of pics on recent show reports.

OSV 0 Posted October 17, 2009 Agree with the inference. The stock mirrors look fine, are part of the car and work well too. Not convinced the time cost and hassle involved with changing them is worthwhile and if anything detracts from the cars styling Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

24V Renshaw 0 Posted November 20, 2009 I did indeed fit the MX5 mirrors to my Rado (now Vicks) and they are not a straight bolt on job. Fit off you have to trim a lot of the ally from the base to get them to sit level, I have seen a couple (including porsche mirrors) where they "droop" and look all wrong. You then have to change the holes in the base to suit the holes in the rado door. Then I made some trim pieces for the bottom to squash between the door and the mirror when bolted down. Fiddly and you need a bench sanding disc really. Much better mirror for visibility than the rado, plus the bottom edge doesn't go brown :) Jay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
soother 0 Posted November 20, 2009 Thanks for that Jay think I will have a go at that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
