Your wingard mirrors look perfect, they are the best choice IMO. I'm still shopping around for a cheap enough pair

Forgot about your wing mirror comment - think I paid about 25 quid. Let me see if I can find them again.

I bought a pair of the bullet mirrors and had to fit one to the car for the MOT. Visibility was appalling so there back in the box to go on Ebay.
I want something with a classic look but with good visibility, anyone have any good recommendations?

Sorry for the bad picture it was a zoom in on another pic as its the only one I have of the wingmirrors, but I got these convex ones from eBay, in the standard position they are easily as good as the original mirrors in my opinion. In the forward position shown they're a TINY bit worse but still very very usable. The car is my daily driver and I've never had a problem even reversing etc with them. They are very subtly convex it doesn't distort the view, just widens it somewhat.

Let me check through my receipts, but I am sure the 30 quid I paid was for the pair. I will let you know tomorrow.

Jaguartvr · #**170** 8th August 2016, 21:12

Thanks for the link.
I would like your mirror and 306craig's mirror base!
Not that I'm fussy.

Hi guys, on the scrounge for advice again. Still looking for chrome wiper arms for my MK2. I had been pointed in the direction of Tex, so emailed them and they said they don't do arms for the MK2. Any pointers gladly received.

306craig · #**177** 23rd August 2016, 19:37

Oh, and another thing - thinking about a new cover for the MX250, the MX5 one just doesn't fit, any pointers - I was thinking Z4?

Take your mx5 wiper arms to a local chrome plater it cost me £20.

Cheers Roadster - never even thought of that!!!!! Nice one mate.

The tex option relies on using a modified landy spline thing so you can use standard fitting arms.
That plating option sounds simpler.
