Wing mirrors

Can anybody tell me what type of wing mirrors i can fit to my mrk 3 as the standard ones are horrible. I wanted some dtm mirrors but no one makes them apart from in germany and they cost a 100 bux which is to much. please help

u can get em at halfords! i nearly got a set when i worked there! u need to purchase the fitting kits as well or u could use a universal one which is like a bit of perspex cut to the size u want! i have seen em somewhere else, can't remember where though! i'll have a think and let u no

there is an advert in pvw i think for car bits and in there there are fitting kits which you can buy. i'm sure you can get all types of mirrors from venom motorsport too now for the mk3.
i have some dtm cup mirrors which are universal and used the blanking plates from vw to use as a template to attach the mirrors

I looked for ages for replacement mirrors, but now, after months of counsilling and therapy, I have come to terms with my big mirrors, and have actually started to like them, taking them in under my wing, nurturing them, and treating them like my own....

What about getting some blanking plates like Nick, then getting some tiny carbon race ones... not seen them on a Polo yet. You can get them from Demon Tweeks for about Â£80 i think.

I hated mine when I first got my car too, but I've yet to find anything else which I think would fit in with how my car is styled.

My car sports "The VAG look"

y don't u do that as i've only seen two mk3's with them on and one was from germany. they don't look that bad either.

I've had them on my Golf for the last 3 years! Albeit not carbon, but the style you are on about! These are the only mirrors I would consider putting on my Polo (even though they are crap and you can't see much out of them!!) but like krupa am going for a more VAG styled car.

my golf..

I've always loved the MK3 mirrors, they have the 80's VW charm!

(IMHO the best thing about the MK3, bit of the 80's and a bit of the 90's!
