now that I have stripped pretty much all of the excess weight from the corsa, wiring looms, windows etc... I have no way of adjusting the electric mirrors and they are not needed anyway as it wont be used very often.

so what mirrors have people used (need to be as light as possible) but still need to look 'normal' so no motorbike style mirrors on stalks etc...


pics?

Normal, non electric mirrors are a fair bit lighter and don't look wank.

There was a purple Nova at Santa Pod today.

Centre exit exhaust, stripped completely, funny dials and shit. Proper high powered one. That had different mirrors on it, and weren't shitty motorbike ones.

EDIT: Not that that is much help BUT someone might know the Corsa I'm on about

Paint sounds right. Alloys were black though. The driver was really quite young.

it was definitely a Nova. Robin, I don't know, can't remember. It was definitely quick though. Could hardly put its power down.

You need two, but one can be internal, you only need one external one, but it needs to be on the driver's side.
