Nice door mirrors.......whats your opinion tho, do they actually work? Isnt the N/S a little low now. Just curious as Im looking to upgrade and havent decided whats best yet.

Had those mirrors on my mini at one time. Couldn't see a blessed thing! Classic do sell ones that pivot on a ball which are much better, but still with much restricted visibility. I'll stick to the S3c eletric mirrors.

Pies, also include checking the condition of the stitching/screen on the hood, in your buyers guide, as both BRGS2 and I have had problems with these as new buyers.

Pies, 2 things...

1) Good to see your ample frame reflected in the paint.. serves you right for telling me to wash it the weekend before...

2) How much commission do I get, given that half of your site has pics of my S on it...?

Seriously though, keep up the good work chap..

[pies]

Thats NOT your "S"

Thats Monza Red not Ruby

Commission I should go look round the classifieds

Out of interest then, is it worth conducting a quick PH survey on which versions of these doors droop more.
It would seem, looking at the photos side by side (or top to bottom to be more exact ) that the longer door would produce more strain on the hinges, but lets be a little more scientific about it.

Right mine drop a bit - V8S = S3 bigger door.

Fixed my door drop 2 weeks ago, back again already!! S3

If I'm not mistaken this is a pic of my S2 door and no, the mirrors aren't particularly effective, they came on the car when I bought it a few months ago.
Cheers.
