Personal opinion

[Manic172]

As the car is being sprayed. And engine is semi being built... I need a pair of wing mirrors... but not sure early or late shape.. what's peoples opinions and why.
Is one of them got a bigger view area... I don't know. Its been about 7 years since I drove the old girl on the road. Please help and share your choice.

As I drive an LC I've got the squarer mirrors - I always think the later teardrop ones look more like the Mk2's mirrors, though I suppose being curvier they do work with the overall body shape.

Maybe the colour choice is as important as the shape ;-)

The colour choice is going to be black. The car is going to be black on the out side. But grey on the inside,under the bonnet and under the floor etc

Round ones (2003 onwards I think) look much nicer to me

Another vote for the facelift/teardrop ones

Whenever I see a Leon with the old style square mirrors, I just think it makes the car look old.

Teardrop for me.

If for track car then I would go for whichever ones have best visibility. If road then later ones

Completely agree. But it being over 6 years since I had a Leon on the road. Who here has had both types and can help

I had the square ones on my 1.6. Bigger mirror, so more visibility. More old fashioned though.

Had both. Capra and an R
Can’t say that you’d. price much difference.
Plenty big enough with either.
As it’s a race car I’d be going with the most drag efficient and smallest and lightest I could get away with.
So the teardrop would win for that and aesthetics too.

Think it's a trip on to ebay or to wrong horse

Ok I have the tear drops and do like them, but I actually think the older model 1s look more aggressive with that square almost flat appearance, where teardrops look more smooth on the eye. I think with the color ur going old style
