Sagaris door mirror extension

[zeppo]

Hi all!
Did some work on the weekend and removed the extensions of the door mirrors. I never liked the look of these "swan necks" and hopefully this will reduce vibrations above 80mph...

"for aerodynamic benefits"
Could be, but it's a TVR - do you think, that they spent a lot of time in a wind channel? I don't...

@Stewart
Do you need them? Just send me a PM...

@Alex
"to improve visibility"
Thats the only reason which makes sense...

[zeppo]

Yes, I still have the extensions.
Haven't noticed any issues, they are much stiffer at high speeds and the view at back is still good.

Yes - this is the Nivea blue one...don't know if they use it for advertising before!

it looks very light on these pics, but I think it's much darker in flesh:

"it was definitely used by Nivea"
It is the only one! Hahaha - fantastic!

It was registered by John Vickers (or Wickers) in 2006. I have seen other pictures in front of an airbrushed wall...

@Tony
Saw your Sagaris at Racing Green in Feb.2008 and did some pics of it. Looks good now! When they sold it, it was just a small heap of plastic boltet togheter were possible...

@Gary
I wrote an Email to Nivea yesterday - let's see what happens...

"a very early car"

Really? and why do I have the newer,non adjustable bonnet?

@Kevin
Yes, it was PO55 BKE (I have the original plates)!

Very interesting, I've contacted Nivea yesterday - maybe I'll get more information/pictures...

@Alex
Ok, I always thought, that the bonnet with the fixed vents is the later one....
