Stubby, M3, DTM. I just don't know!

You guessed it, mirrors. I don't know which to aim for. Everyone says get a stubby driver mirror, but everyone's got them. I'm not too hot on M3 mirrors because they even look wrong on the old M3's! and DTMs I've not seen anywhere... ever! So any guidance would be nice. I've got manual mirrors btw, if it makes any difference

I had DTMs

search for "mat's mk3 beeza" should bring up my old readers ride thread

All that time since you last posted, I've been looking up and down those pics, I think I'm sold on the side view of the car. Was visibility any worse/better with the DTMs? Width restrictions were p... easy I take it

 

[Mat]

it was ok TBH! Get used to it. slight loss on passenger side, but IMO, it makes you a better driver and more aware as you HAVE to lean forward, look over shoulder etc

I still do it now even with big mirrors the cupra has

 

[ian_cupra]

NOOOOO stubby all the way, any other mirrors look pants!!

 

[Reuvers]

agreed

you're gonna rape the car putting that tupperware crap on

 

[Mat]

go for 2 big ones instead.... be different

 

[ian_cupra]

yeah or that, has anyone done that yet?

 

[Mat]

not that I know of.

think PhilW asked about it the other day

 

[ian_cupra]

stickin with stubby, was my first ever mod 4 years its been on

 

[Oj 89]

Hey, didn't think of that. visibility would be great out of the passenger side too where dya get stubbys, or not so...?

 

[Reuvers]

in the rest of europe where people drive on the CORRECT side of the road lol

 

[Mat]

whatever...

we drive on the CORRECT side............ and if you got a problem with that, then come over here

 

[Oj 89]

think about it, who's winning the F1 atm? and which side of the road do you think he drives on? out of interest, do you have roundabouts on the continent?

 

[Reuvers]

whatever...

we drive on the CORRECT side............ and if you got a problem with that, then come over here

will do during edition 38

I was thinking of doing two large mirrors when my passenger one got broke off, but then i needed a new one in a hurry so couldnt really wait on it coming from german ebay.

 

[PaulGTI]

there was a set of stubbys in silver on ebay the other day if that helps?

I did this on my polo looks far better imo!

wanted to do it on the cupra but the left hand drive drivers mirror is hard to adjust and makes it more difficult to see,

so have been looking round for ideas latest idea is to get both large mirrors off right hand drive golf or fabia or alhambra and try and fit them to ibiza plates

With stubby

Both Big

big is definately better!. Thanks guys.
