Hi been searching but can't find a guide on fitting TT or Corrado mirrors but I'm sure I've seen one before, does anyone know of one and point me in the direction I'd much appreciate it

I found this a couple of weeks ago.

Also found a site that appears to sell Corrado mirrors for £72 per pair although I haven't bought them yet.

Hope it helps

All the best

Hi Graeme

I did this conversion as part of my repaint project this year - see page 213 "what did you do in the garage" for pics

Bought the vw mirrors new as a pair from a company in Oxford for around 75.00 in primer, you will require some adaptor plates available from good TVR outlets which will also need painting, think I paid around 35.00 for these.

The electrics are not straightforward and in the end have given up and adjust them by hand when needed

I do prefer the look IMHO, my main reason for changing was because the original mirrors had been repaired and prices for parts are very expensive.

However they do sit a lot higher and with my low seating position cause a blind spot which needs to be allowed for. If not careful when joining a roundabout the RH mirror could mask a car, so may go back to the old ones.
