Hi All
I've noticed a few postings re mirrors needed, these may fit the bill. I found these at my local motor factor they are after market copys of the BMW M series mirrors, the ones fitted to there super go faster models of there cars. The fixed version are £39.95 and the electric version are £59.95 per pair, and the fitting base are almost a exact size fit to the triangle corner at the front of the door where the window guide begins. You can see pics of them in my 460i ad in the classified section.

Aren't you worried that BMW mirrors may affect the overall reliability record of a wedge?

The 520 uses a set from a Seat Marbella or Fiat Panda depending on what I find in the Scrappy...

Thanks gents, I'm on the scrounge as of now.

Steve and Phil, presumably the mirrors work electronically with no probs?? - Not that it's critical is it but one must be able to see the blue lights flashing behind. (in Phil's case fading into the distance). Why on earth would you sell a missile like that??

Steve, the bible is hopefully on its way to me now so I'm expecting some tips from that. Cheers.

The Seat ones are manual. I hit a tyre wall with the pod type and the pod twisted the door /window frame, shattering the window and covering me with glass. decided I wasn't going to go through that again so spent a couple of days patrolling the car parks looking for an alternative. They are not pretty, but cheap, light and fold out of the way if I hit anything.
