$60 - $80, all from same vendor : http://www.trademe.co.nz/Members/Listings.aspx?member=1056635

Bullets are $120 : cant justify that even thou I have seen them mentioned as Tiger style in other threads here

OR fender mirror

which I dont like (think rally car/guard 1st part to bend/swap if crashed) but putting option there

Bullets would be the coolest.

The first carbon fibre ones look super gay.

Second don't do much for me.

I like the third one better, looks more period. Sort of a bit like what the GLS has or the Valiants.

Not a fan of fender mirrors.

I would say bullets then the 3rd one. looking at his prices the bullets seem about the same price as the 3rd one.

1x bullet is $60

3rd is also $60 each! (had to re-read auction twice)

leaning towards the Carbon look just to piss ppl off LOL ($80 a pair)

Really? Really! Really? Carbon Fibre?

Anyway Nikolai and I have spoken! Get the bullets  :P

BTW if you want to go extra super gay then I can get the whole Avenger body kit made in Carbon Fibre for you.

Because they are chrome and chrome is good.

And no unfortunately I can't make the Avenger body kits in chrome (Although I secretly wish I could)

the only value of carbon fibre is that it makes a statement about you as a person! Hahaha

Yup. You may as well go out and buy some leather chaps while you are at it, to complete the look, i.e gay.

This guy has carbon fibre on his car.

Hey what do you guys think of bullet mirrors on the bonnet/fender? :D
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: avenga on February 13, 2012, 09:17:12 AM
They had bullet mirrors on the Tiger and that worked. Not sure if it is my style though.

Yeah, you may be too excited :P

speaking of gay, did you ever get those carbon fibre mirrors Jared?
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: JoKer on February 13, 2012, 05:43:13 PM
na, lost motovation a tad and even the one I tacked on has fallen off, figure only going forwards most the time anyway
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: avenga on February 13, 2012, 05:49:07 PM
Yeah my race car doesn't have mirrors.

If you need mirrors in a race car then it means you aren't going fast enough.

If you need mirrors in any car then it means you aren't going fast enough.

And are a sissy.


There are a few exceptions, however. Panelvans being one.


Likewise you should ALWAYS have your Driver's window open (unless you are doing over 80kmh and the sound of the wind is overpowering your speakers)
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: avenga on February 17, 2012, 11:53:30 AM
Nah, just buy bigger speakers.

Only time I have the drivers window closed in the Charger is when it is raining.
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: blekkja on February 17, 2012, 12:34:45 PM
Yeah: I've only got a pair of 6s sitting in the door pockets. Need to get some 6x9s for the parcel shelf.


Depends how hard it is raining. A light shower is fine.
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: avenga on February 17, 2012, 01:22:13 PM
Yeah I have 6.5's in the door pockets, tweeters in the dash, 6x9's in the rear parcel tray and a 12" sub in the boot of my Avenger.

Yeah a light shower is fine. I only close mine if it is really raining.

I don't have aircon so open windows are a must in old cars.
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: Nikolai on February 26, 2012, 11:25:28 AM
Buying those bullets from eBay if anyone wants to go in on some.

Will find out the shipping price shortly.
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: oldschool on February 26, 2012, 12:54:47 PM
Way cheaper on TradeMe mate....

Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: JoKer on February 26, 2012, 01:58:25 PM
for now : still $90 a pair (currently)
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: Nikolai on February 26, 2012, 02:36:18 PM
Err what? Those are 24 pounds for the pair. So it works out to be $20NZD each plus shipping. I also have an international DHL account so the shipping won't be very expensive if I want to get them ASAP.

On TradeMe it is AT LEAST $40 each one plus shipping.
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: oldschool on February 26, 2012, 05:04:59 PM
You could be right...if the shipping isn't too expensive...
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: avenga on February 26, 2012, 07:14:06 PM
They had them for like $20 at the Galaxy of Cars swap meet today.

Second ones! What're you after for em?
Title: Re: WTB : Wing Mirrors : Help me choose
Post by: blekkja on February 26, 2012, 10:17:42 PM
They are quite square, though. Also I think they prob are just plastic with a thin shiny covering - but I doubt you would be able to tell unless you were up close. But you are welcome to them.

Took a few more photos so you get a better idea hopefully:

I only chose the second ones because I was inspired by this picture :D

As long as there is no carbon fibre variant, you can choose for me :D

Haha you like those fender mirrors, Nikolai?! I decided I will buy them. Sexyness is worth the $$$!

I also like the look of these Mazda fender mirrors!
