I don't reckon you need 'em....unless you have a really stiff neck. The visibility is good in a mini, plus if you don't have them they keep the side of it looking clean and smooth.

That's my two cents.

I've got no mirrors on my mini... haven't crashed yet. I like the look of it without mirrors too.

F1 Style mirrors???

I think you have to hav mirrors for rego.. Maybe you dont if your didnt have them from factory.... Im looking at some mirrors hot rodders and street machiners use.. You get them from rair spares and they clip on the the door on the window frame. You can remover them easy and you dont even need any holes in your door.. They fit with a grub screw (i think)

These are the usual bullet mirrors, u cant see out of them, but i think they look cool! They just dont have much in the way of adjustment......

I mounted my ONE bullet mirror and put it in flat not angeld up and I can see perfectly in it. Only problem is if you set it right the 1/4 vent no longer fully opens, but hey who needs that? I reckon driver side mirror only in bullet style is cool, has that early 70s racing style feel to it and of course it's more chrome.

The position that my 2 mirrors are in, neither 1/4 glass will open! Bit of a shame on those 35 deg plus days!
