Are all Corrado wing mirrors heated?

 

Where did you by the glass from dude? Are they a good fit?

I got them from Ahn Nguyen from Dub Industries.

 

The glass is not flat so the GOOP fills in the void and holds good.

So they are no longer heated?

yes they are still heated. the metal heating element is still intact and the glass goes over it.

Are these "Sided" for LHD cars?

 

If so won't be much use for us here in the UK as the "passenger" will be our Drivers mirror

I'm assuming aspherical is a glass with a blind spot/wide angle outer edge to it?

Would love one of these, save me running people off the road :)

So who supplies them?, I've only seen tinted or convex aftermarket lenses for the Corrado.

they are still heated and you can see the heating element behind the glass is still intact.

I've got these on mine, and they work fine mate. Both mirrors are slightly convex so give much better field of view than the standard ones. Takes a day to get used to it and then it's as if they've always been like that.

"Our blue wide angle mirrors help cut down on headlight glares and gives a wider view than the stock mirrors. The driver side mirror (left) is not wide angle. These mirrors do not have the heating element. But the heat pad on the old mirrors can be peeled off and reapplied to the DDI mirrors. "

Strange I could have sworn both of mine were wide angle - will have to go and check now....

Yep, both curved on mine, although the drivers side is more curved than the passenger side one. I seem to remember Anh (at DDI) did some of these specifically for the British market (RHD) so perhaps mine was left over from that batch.

[corradog60stage4 0]

yes i too remembered he has made them for both markets, he still has them in stock.

Anybody know if these are still available from DDI? just been on their website and couldn't find it

[nlau1 0]

Just a heads up guys, The mirrors are back in stock at DDI if anyone is looking for them!

 

Just ordered myself a pair and I'll update in my members gallery thread when they arrive!

How much are they matey?

[nlau1 0]

$80, so works out to about £45 for the pair
