Exclamation Side Mirrors

To cut a long story short I need to replace the drivers side mirror on my WP,
I your opinion, shold I just replace it with a normal one ($190) or should I get some M3 lookalikes from europe? (approx $100)

That side-mirror looks good but I dun if it'll look better than the standard side-mirrors. Plus there's a $90 saving with the M3-styled side mirrors ay?.

They are only manual mirrors though, but they are a little different and I get 2 for cheaper

If I were you, I'd get the M3's without the indicators, which imho would look a bit ****y

i'm boring. i would go for the original.
if you go for the m3 ones, then you would have to fit it to the left hand side as well - depriving you of the electric mirror thing. i dont mind manually adjusting the right hand one but it annoys me that i would have to stretch across to adjust the left.

I adjusted mine on the first day, and haven't touched 'em since. Are you the only person driving the car?

As good as the M3s would look, spend the extra and keep electric adjustable mirrors. While I seldom change my mirror settings, electric control sure comes in handy during night driving on freeways being tailed by some moron in a fully laden 4WD. Its amazing how a little mirror play to shine their headlights back at them will get them to back right off.
