Bullet mirrors look OK, but are crap for practicality. Lucky if you can see one car in it.
Wander round a scrapyard first, you might find something on an old datsun or something
in good nick for peanuts!

Well, you could use a strong adhesive tape or glue, which means no holes for water to get in and less damage to the door if they are ripped off.
Screwing or bolting it much stronger, but will stuff the door if the heads are ripped out
from the mirror coming off due to a lazy parker or something.

Bullet mirrors create less drag. :D

If you want bullet mirrors, get the ones with the convex (domed) mirrors. It expands the field of view a bit more and makes them more useful.

i think bullet mirrors look good on clubbies!
you dont need mirrors in minis anyway! 8)

i just put the other one on Betty today. its NOT hard!! :D
i drilled in two holes,screwed in the mirrors and the mirror came with a rubber thingy, so no water should get into the door.
lets just hope neither of the two mirrors get ripped off :D

Bullet mirrors are absolutely hopeless for looking out of.
Why would you want to replace the mirrors you have, anyway?
