I do like the top ones just not sure if would be able to see at all in them as they will be just below the window and my seat position is low because of the bucket seats. Decisions decisions grrrrrrrre 🤔

I think the lower ones, as you said you can add the red stripe, and i think they will go better with the kind of build you are going for.

In order to use the bullet style I would have to make something along these lines

67C44EDC-8DF1-4263-8C34-11F3176DAFE7_zps

Second one I would make smaller though. First one I would need to use a metal folder which I don't have so would need to buy one

I do agree and I'm so torn would like the mirrors with a red stripe through and with them wouldn't have to paint satin black first

I think the bracket would suit the style you are going for, you don't have to use a metal bender, lump of wood in a vice and a big mallet should do it

I take it you were talking about the first bracket setup. I'm going to make them tonight and get them fitted up on the doors tonight with the mirrors will post some pictures later

Mirrors got delivered yesterday so I made up some brackets after work and then this morning drilled the holes in the doors.

I agree with everyone that said they look cool and I will also agree that you cannot really see well out of them but ah well. Just going to adjust the slider part to make it longer to get a bit more adjustment

Looking good mate.

Can I offer some advice? Keep away from the Stella when you're lining your doors back up

Will keep that in mind and only drink jaegermeister straight instead. It's also a good job I've already lined my doors up and will just need to put them on once painted which I know I will probably ruin any paint when fitting them back on 😡
