Does anyone know if the converters are still available so I can fit the nice VW Corrado mirrors to my 500?

Hiya,

I got mine from the TVR Centre in Barnet, although they had to order them from the factory as they were made to order as I recall. However, it may be worth ringing round a few dealers to see if they have any available, otherwise try TVR Breakers Bell Hill Garage (where I ended up buying the actual replacement mirrors from).

I think the TVR part numbers for the adaptors are: B1122 and B1123 (description 'Mirror spacer' LH/RH) and they cost around £17.50 each + VAT.

If you need any more details or information then please give me a shout, as I can e-mail a full installation sheet that I got from another poster on PistonHeads some time ago.
The job is a bit of a pain to do, but the mirrors are so much better than the originals.

Hiya Mate!
No problems at all. The Chim was much better with the seats and mirrors (both sourced by Bell Hill for me).
I have just found the full article so if you can provide an e-mail adress I will send you a .pdf copy!

I was lucky and picked up the mirrors and adapters from ebay.

I sprayed them myself, its not a hard job but i didnt like the part when i was chiseling the old bosses out of the door !!!
