Carbon wing mirrors
Discussion
Quite striking, Tux. 
Adds a refined look. Must consider ordering a pair myself.
On the topic of wing mirrors. Has anyone solved the wandering mirror adjust issue? The passenger side quickly wanders up and in toward the mirror's neutral position. Have tried the 1g installation manuals recommendation and my own touches with little success, so put a small convex attachment on passenger's side. A wide convex on the inside mirror also helps a lot at the track, especially after experience with a Radical at the track. Also helps when entering a road from a "Y" intersection. I heard him to my side before I saw him.
You have a beautiful car, Tux.

Buy a 2nd hand electric pair, no need to wire them up, just click to desired position and hey presto!!after the carbon rear clip and carbon front lights my next project is going to be carbon mirrors of my own design... any design ideas welcome

Just don't make them like the NobleMods ones. They look nice but you can't see anything out of them. I'm considering going back to standard as I think they're borderline dangerous.
ive just bought a pair of these ready to fit once the car is back. my existing ones move around so much i cant see anything anyway so dont think its too much of a proplem.why cant you see very much out of them.

I'm convinced they're motorbike mirrors mounted on custom bases, they don't work on a car - especially one with limited rear visibility anyway!
Yep. Simple is good.
I've thought about gluing a chunk of plastic foam in behind the top corner of the mirror or jamming something in the control stick. But Tux's silicone is quicker.
Sorry, Tux, but I have a hard time with the idea of a silicone bead around a mirror that has such beautiful carbon. Judging from the looks of your car, I'm sure it's a highly professionally installed silicone bead.
Great looking mirror, Adrian. What.... you take issue with the Rover look? Isn't that part of the mistique of the Noble ... an exquisit combo of parts from many vehicles.
Remindes me of when a guy asked about the M400's tail lights. You should have seen his face when I told them they're Kia Sonata.
Should have kept my mouth shut.

Some of the UK fraternity would love to be able to easily fit Sonata tail lights!! They're a lot nicer than the Mondeo effort supplied over here! Should have kept my mouth shut. Gassing Station | Noble | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
