ah I see

I like it. Can you buy stickers to fit or is it just a case of cutting some to fit?

I like them very much. I know some people will say they shouldn't be on a late model car but they are way cooler. You've got a very sweet E21 there.

Yer it was suggested, and i did take note. I just love them mirrors though.

They were a little fiddly to fit as i had to make my own back plate for the inside of the door. Also you really struggle to get tools behind the door panel.

I got the mirrors of Ebay Canada about 2 years ago, the auction finished at 4am GMT and i paid £12, RESULT!!!!!!

Ive just put some chrome handles on. Thats it now, no more chrome. Unless i can find someone to chrome the roof rack.

Thanks for your comments retrobeemer.

Clear indicators would be a nice touch.
