Can anyone tell me where I could purchase a set of original 1600 side mirrors? Or conversely, does anyone have some in good condition that they would be willing to sell me? I'm taking my newly-purchased 1600 back to the original look. Thanks

Thanks for the reply Jarrad. I checked out the Rare Spares site and found these mirrors which are the type i'm after.

These mirrors retail for $22.95 each which makes me wonder about their quality? Does anyone have these mirrors from Rare Spares? I would prefer an original set if anyone has some for sale. Or can someone suggest a supplier of the OE mirrors?

I doubt they are cromed metal for $22... But they do look nice.

Its how they look in a few years which worries me...

even if they only lasted a few years spending $22 every few years on mirrors, its still worth it in the end.

ud spend more on polish every year to polish up ur originals!

Just what i was thinking! You should just buy 2 pairs to start with, i'm sure if the others didn't fade you could sell the second pair :wink:
