Well, I held out for a long long time but gave in when a friend offered to pick these mirrors up for me while crossing through Japan...while saving me a few bucks. Looks like Craftsquare's still the only one to offer aftermarket GT3 type mirrors for the Mini. Now that I have them, I understand why they're so expensive (MSRP, $490/pair ). They're very well crafted and the aluminum base compliments the chrome on the Mini quite well. Best of all, it's smaller but still very functional at around 170mm wide by 70mm tall. Not like those rediculously tiny mirrors that you see on Ricers that looks like pimples. It's not for everyone, but fits well if your's tend to lean towards racecar as mine.

They look Interesting, never seen anything like them before.
I take it they`re just positioned on that ball joint, & you cant control them remotely anymore. Still, Like the Nice Chrome Bases

Now .. About those Front Spots .. Anychance of a closer side view of those..
They really set off the Front Nicely ... Where did you get those from ???

go to a company called demon tweeks they specialise in racing car parts and mirrors.

Bases may be nachined to specific shape of doors but mirrors are nothing special and are widely available from specialist racing car component companies.

Bigshunt, I'd be interested to know if they have mirrors that are of the same dimension as mine...170mm x 70mm. What's their website?

Rob, they are Schroth Mini specific harnesses that attaches to the rear clips.

Restyle, the lamps are PIAA motorcycle type.

Bad *****!! In fact, it is my favorite MCS. That is, till mine gets here! Are those 7" or 7.5" wide Pro Race 1's? What springs did you install and how much lower is it? I saw a pic of your car with white lettering on he wheels. Did you paint the letters?
Thanks,
Shawn

Car looks great you have clearly put a lot of effort in

heres some websites

The bases on your car will have to in theory be machined to do the job. The mirrors you have are by the measurements and looks appear as you say to be GT3.

Testing my memory have not seen regulations this year the mirror size is a standard FIA regulation size as used on Porsche GT3 ,Saleens pretty well any other sportscar at Le mans. So your mini on the mirrors anyway could compete at Le mans!

I am not at sad mirror nut, just been building racing cars for a long time and once nearly got thrown out of race for undersized mirrors.

Found only below which looks nice as well

For anyone in the UK wishing to the same check the law for road use. This I am not 100% sure about but believe there is minimum glass size for road use in UK

You junky Msifitoy, you know there the bomb!
Pics look better on M2 than NAM for some reason. I want, contacting a friend in Yokohama tomorrow. Do you know where to get them from in Japan??

[Msfitoy]

Shawn, thanks...they're 7". Wish I could've found 8" instead so I could try and squeeze in some 225 R tires The white letterings kepted fading/peeling and were too difficult to maintain. I miss them. Maybe I'll find another solution later. The springs are H-sport and still the best IMHO. I'll stick with these untill I go to Lieda coilovers. It's lower but not slammed so you can stuff big tires under your Mini.

Bigshunt, thanks for the sites

Enzo, my friend is somewhere in Europe. I'll ask her when she returns next month. I've seen these same sets periodically on Ebay by the same vendor. He's also in Japan I believe. Any pics of the diffuser or seat cover??
