Mirror Glass for Later Wedge Mirrors

[schimg]

Hi there painted up my later mirrors to go my 350i Fixed head...but they did not come with mirror glass....been down to Halfords...no joy.

Anyone point me in the right direction?



thanks in advance

if you have the originals taking them down to a glazier as i did and they will cut some for you. cost me £5 each

Or just make a cardboard/hardboard template and take that, if no mirrors available.

- Could cut polystyrene to shape for the backing, if not using electrics.

I got a pair for a Capri, old stock at the local motorfactors place, they nearly fitted just had to shave a small piece off one corner 50p each

What dya need mirrors for? To do your hair?
You only need to see forwards so that you know whats next to overtake!
Everything behind you should be going backwards!



(edited to say always drive sensibly, do not emulate this advice at home, and always carry a comb as driving without mirrors is foolish and may result in a dishevelled appearance upon arriving at your destination!)

I can't see a lot out of mine even after adjusting them

Well thanks for all of these replies...but was advised not to go to a local mirror shop as standard mirror glass does not provide the magnification....blame Blaine....UK

Is that the mirrors, or your eyes though, Jeremy?

I got a new pair cut at the local glazier £2.50 each, work fine. At least with flat glass you know exactly how far back you are leaving everything!

If you need convex mirror glass cut and you have a plastic backing plate or template drop me a mail.

Or if it is just to fit a standard Citroen CX25 left or right hand plastic backing plate, those can be cut to order without a pattern in either flat or convex glass.

If you find some, let me know as I'll need a few pairs, as fitting some to the Race Car.
