Which Door Mirrors?
Can anyone tell me whether this is a bullet type mirror or not?
As you can see it's had a hefty whack from a shopping trolley (or another car) so I'm thinking of buying some powerfolds or, failing that, some new covers. |

That's the bullet type. I've got power fold mirrors on my 75 they are very useful, it's tight under my car port and it also helps prevent car park scuffs such as you've suffered at the hands of some careless clot. John

Thanks Mike and John. Is the bullet type the more recent one?
How much extra clearance do you get with the powerfolds John? Pondweed: I tried the £4.99 eBay seller and he does have Zircon Silver. He doesn't seem to have any for the passenger side though - they're all driver's side. |

The bullet mirrors are the originals, not later.

Ok Mike - thanks again. I still can't figure out which type the eBay chap that Pondweed mentioned is selling. Here's one of his auctions:

That rules them out then. Curses
Btw, SMC have some chrome ones on eBay - £24.99 if anyone is interested. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=130044848537 Last edited by Simon W; 6th November 2006 at 12:32.. |

most of smcs painted stock are early bullets.. just check the VINs are "up to......" rather than "from...." Incidentally, tourers had bullets fitted much later than in the suggested application list on smc's listings. mine is 248100 and still has early mirrors.
