Wing Mirrors

[tiny]

I would like to change the stock ones ( Fiat Punta parts bin? ) for something a little sleeker,less whistly at speed but still in keeping with the Griff body shape -any experience or suggestions?

Hi tiny, found an old post on the subject, it might be of interest.

If not, do a search using mirrors as the key word.

Fiat indeed. Citroen young man!!

The VW Corrado method is your safest bet. Tried and tested by the factory, then after market installed in a slightly less swift manner by moi.

If you do go down this route then I'm happy to give you more advice if you need it. E mail me via my profile.

Thanks to both for your links/advice -the end result looks great.Unfortunately I don't have either the facilities or competence to have a go myself.I've got the car booked into Peninsular for a service in a couple of weeks so plan to ask them if they can do it and how much

If you're going to replace them, I was thinking of going with the more modern TVR product with the door opening button underneath (then when I felt flush, removing the push down door openers and smoothing off that part of the car)

Incidentally, somewhere (possibly on here) there's a link to a site that tells you where every part on a TVR is sourced from...

Bruce - do you know which mirrors from the current range can be fitted to a late Griff?

PS car going very well

Sorry, I don't know, but as with all things TVR, it's a moveable feast!

I know the answer to this.

Any of the mirrors from the current range will fit, be they from the Tamora, T350, Cerbera, Tuscan or T440R.

That's because they are all the VW Corrado mirrors (slightly modified on the T440). It is the only mirror TVR use now.

For the Griff you will need the converter blocks, as detailed in my idiot's guide to changing wing mirrors, referred to above.
