Hi just wondered if the dtm mirrors that you can get on fleabay for about 20 quid are the same mirrors used on the kit cars? they certainly look the same...

easy if you have the mounting base as well!

Fit the mirrors to the mounting base and then the base to the car :D

sounds straight forward enough :) the next big question is to get them sprayed or not? or some rally decals might look good......

They just have 3 screws into the door - which are in the same place as the OE mirrors.

Here is a close up of the ones on my Ibiza (now on the Cordoba).

Left mine in the plain black plastic - saved the weight of the paint :lol:

only reason I said, a mate from the dub club has them on his mk3 vr6, look real good (didn't think they would) they are for sale, quite pricey, but if you are after them, then you are always willing to pay it :)

The WRC Cordy I saw in Spain had a Seat Sport logo on it. Mirrors were made of carbon too.

The two posters I have of the UK based kit cars (on the garage wall) have plain mirrors.

The UK based car (Lisa Addy/Barbara Armstrong) just has red standard mirrors on a kiwi car;
The Spanish based car (no driver names) had yellow dtm esque ones.

Here's the logo asked for above - the UK team used the main Seat one and added it's own 'Cupra Sport' bit around it:

The mirrors on the cars varied. They started out as standard mirrors and then the small mirrors were graduallyput on the Evo 2 cars.

The car in post 11 is an early Evo 2 car, the same reg on the car shown here:

... which was brought to the UK, and converted to yellow small mirrors!

They were always changing them, even the UK Evo 1s were small mirrored after a while.
