| Post subject: | Clip on/ seam mirrors |
So I'm looking at buying some clip on seam mirrors for the clubman Currently tossing up between the following This one seems to be the most "normal" option:  The arms on these might be a bit long and I'm not sure I like the round shape... but they are an option:  I think these could look cool swung down from the top of the side seams, sort of rat rod style:  Please share experiences and or opinions freely |

These mirrors are not suited to fit on the seams, they clip on to the Quarter glass. |

I've brought the last square mirror at a car show and took them straight back after telling the seller that I could be bringing them straight back in 5 mins for a refund if they didn't fit cause he was a bit pushy to make a sale I think they were around $45 each |

The round ones appeared to clip to the door frame somehow in one of the sellers photos, but it was so out of focus / resolution that I couldn't really tell how it was supposed to mount. I suppose the question is where should I buy seam mirrors from? Minisport are out of stock and minispares don't seem to stock them |

I don't have any knowledge of the mirrors you have posted photos for, however, the mirrors sold as accessories by BMC/BL in late 60s/70s clipped onto the front edge of the driver's door rather than the seam. These mirrors were used on NSW police Ss and I had one fitted to my Mini K when I bought it. Bill |

This is the Wibroc one just mentioned. I bought a NOS one from ebay last year for $125.
