You can buy second hand Rovers mirros from Brickworx in S.A. He doesn't have any right now but there are some due in his next shipment.

You can also buy stainless/chromes ones that look just like the Rovers ones. They are made by Tex.

Not sure. maybe try emailing him. Depends what colour you want I think. They come white to match the white roofs of Coopers, or black or grey which come on the Mayfairs etc.

White ones are dearer I think.

NMP also sells them second hand in Melbourne I think for $35 each.

not every bodies cup of tea, but I really like the little black plastic "Sports Mirrors" available from Supercheap (about $12ea) and other auto shops. Theres at least two different brands, slightly different to each other, but pretty much same shape, with black rubber boot that fits over its base.

visibility isnt fantastic, but I like the look 8)

Yeah I've got one on Mini-Ha-Ha. Work OK but at 100MPH the wind blows them back.. :P :lol:
They were better made 10 years ago- since then, the Chinese have managed to make them thinner, and thinner, and even bloody thinner... so they vibrate too! :x

Website at www.miniparts.com.au or phone on (03) 9458 2111

If you look in the UK mini mags you will find out that they are very expensive new.

IMO, the Rover ones look really dated. Like the stock wheels on early 90's Minis.

The bullet mirrors look the bomb, and do provide adequate visibility if you mount them far enough forward.

I gotta buy two more coz I smashed them both! Not out of anger at their poor visibility, though...
