Care to elaborate? A picture might help.

Bloody hell thats expensive for what looks like some folded ali or stainless with two flared holes.

you can mount those mirrors on the original rover mirror stalks

you can even see behind you with them

If you say it would take an hour to draw them up and cut them (assuming you're doing it by hand) + material cost and finding someone to make them it's probably not too far off.

At the end of the day its straight edges (guillotine) and a flaring tool with two different sized mandrels. And a folder. So yes initial costs for these items is high (unless you work somewhere that has these or you own your own) Maybe its me just being picky. Now wheres that sheet of Titanium.

EEK 45 queens dollars! Do look good though.

Thanks for the link!

sorry to sound boring, but i think they look rubbish!

it just looks like a really poor way of making those mirrors usable. a round smoot hmirror mounted on what looks like a very home made squre clunky bracket, its not exactly very slick is it? it just looks like someone has bodged some mirrors on from a different car.

thats just my opinion though.

Agreed, imo, Downton style bullets look better on the rover black stalks, and are alot cheaper and sleeker too.

[Alex_B]

Personally I think them on the rover stalks it actually looks bodged, and prefer the bare racecar soloution idea thing of just a simple bracket, it just seems like a logical, uncomplicated soloution

[Tupers]

The "Dowton" mirrors are the same as what Swiftune use on their mounts. Demon Tweeks a loads of other companies also sell them.

No, this looks bodged

[giacomo]
