MSA mirrors

[Kodie]

Has anyone had any luck adapting the msa bullet mirrors to fenders? I know they are missing the stalk/spring setup but they are considerably cheaper than a single mirror on yahoo auction!

 

The mirrors in question are:

I personally believe that unless its the proper mirrors (240z or 1600 ones), it looks like crap - half the look is in the agressive angle they come out at, even celica ones aren't the same

 

the passenger side one also kinda requires the longer stalk in order for you to be able to see it over the windscreen wipers - the 1600 one's (chrome) are nearly to short for me to see the complete mirror in, so its understandable that the 240z (black) ones are slightly (1/2-1") longer

So basically no then?

 

They look very similar to the legit 240 ones, I have only found 2 mirrors on yahoo auctions and they wanted $200au for just 1

the black ones near the centre r 240z fender mirrors, as you can see the stalk is quite long

 

from time to time they sell on US ebay for around $250, brand new - well they used to (with postage i ended up paying $450 from memory, as the dollar was crap)

 

this is not to say you can't mount MSA or similar ones, people do, i just personally think it doesn't look the same, and infact looks worse than not having fender mirrors

You can get that same bullet style mirror with a longer stalk. Look on ebay for tex calissics. I think the longer stalk are marketed at minis or mg's or something. Not sure how it looks on the car though....
