Discussion
I have used the search facility extensively, read a great number of threads in a number of different forums (Griff, Chim, Wedge etc.), and come to the conclusion that Audi TT Mk 1 mirrors are the ones for me.
However, the threads don't cover the following:
1) Will silver metallic look crap on a mica blue V8S?
2) How do you wire them up?
Cheers.

Spray with aerosols, body colour or satin black

it's only a bit of wiring
In theory yes, but....... 
Should be a "piece of cake" but sometimes modern things just seem over complicated and may not "match" ye olde TVR wiring design!
You need to be careful with the size of the actual mirrors. I like the current A3 saloon mirrors which I think are the same as mk2 TT. I think they would suit the style of the S (and give a better side repeater) but are probably too big for the S.
mk1 TT mirrors are smaller (I think) and do suit the S well but don't have the side repeater.
As for wiring. It's just a case of identifying what wire does what. The motor adjustment is the same but you do have the option of heated mirrors with the TT items so adding extra wiring and a switch for that is probably the hardest thing.
