After market door mirrors?

[steve1]

I keep looking at these rover parts on the car, and am seriously thinking of changing them, are the ones from noblemods the only ones available that fit straight on without modification.
I would quite like some CF units, but can't find any that are a direct replacement.

If there is enough interest, can anyone get them made-up in CF, I'm sure most would like to get rid of those standard units.

Steve.

[Biggriff]

Definitely interested

[steve1]

So that's 2 sets then, anyone else?

Are they the noblemods ones, can't tell if they are painted black or CF.

Steve.

[Jenx]

Yep, Noblemods...and painted

[Twerlie]

Sorry boyz but the Challenge Stradale Carbon ones on Adrian's car are SO much better than the Noblemods ones... IMHO of course!

although the Noblemods ones are a cheaper alternative that still look good

And IMHO Adrian's ones look like they were designed by a 13 year old

I'm with Martin on this one, I don't like the Fezza "Race" ones standard Fezza ala F430 would look nice (if you can get them to fit).IMO

...but how can either of you comment when you have not seen them in the flesh on the car? I have seen both and prefer the Fezza ones. But like everything in life, it's all about opinions!

Have a good weekend peeps....

Hmmmm the 430 ones are £700 each and have F430 moulded into them, Sorry Martin but the 360 ones suit the car better than the Noblemods ones whatever age the designer was, i'll take some pics when it's not raining.

I see your point £700 for moulded plastic is a piss take, BTW only one mirror has F430 moulded in cheapskates! Easy enough to fill and paint though!

OMG I just realised thats £1400 for the pair at that rate I might take mine off and fit Rover ones till I sell the car

ETS
And I bet the £700 one is the one without the F430 moulded in.... that one's probably a Grand

AFAIR the Noblemods mirrors use plastic mirror "glass" that is optically imperfect (and illegal?). I liked the look of Martin's mirrors but the view was stretchy, like a Hall of Mirrors! Feel free to correct me Martin/all.

The view from one of mine was bad because it had clear laquure overspray on it , but they do reduce virtical visibility and take a bit of getting used to. I've no doubt at all that Adrian's will be easier to see out of, they're just a little too "in yer face" for me personally.

And getting back to the main point, I think the carbon ones are a million per improvement on the OE ones. If you change them it can only be for the best...

Let's face it... anything is going to be better than Rover 25 mirrors. Noblemod ones remind me too much of Scooby's ears (!). Fezza ones look the business (IMHO of course)
