Hi , I have been offered a pair of VW Corrado wing mirrors , and told they will fit a T25. Has anyone any experience of fitting these, and if so how difficult is it ? Any tips would be appreciated..............

I fitted them once. You nèed to do a search through my posts. Basically you need to redrill the mirror mounting holes, file the mirror foot flat and make an extension that angles the mirrors up so that they are not drooping. I made mine by hand from a lump of ally. They look tidy but you can see cockall at the back.

you can always refit yoour original mirrors on the opposite side and have horizontal as opposed to vertical ones

The post has gone, must have been in the old forum.
Anyway here are the photos:



The extensions:

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to look out the photos, will have a think about what to do..........

Mouse ears stuck on an elephant

Some fit early Golf mirrors and I have heard of people fitting Land rover mirrors.

True, they look good though.

My mirrors are on their last legs, with the locking shaft / bolt about to strip (again).
I have seen a few posts here and there about Land Rover mirrors, however I can't find specifi info. Would someone be able to post direct links to the exact Land Rover Mirror, plus the adaptor kit to attach them.

I have seen a few T25s fitted with very modern aero dynamic colour coded mirrors too, again despite many searches I can't find and specific info, just general chit chat which left me not much further forward. I did see 'Truck Mirrors', which look good too, albeit the ones I saw were more expensive.

Any (good specific) info would be appreciated.

Look on the brickyard for Kandy mirrors.

can recommend the landy up grade rear view is excellent and they fold flat and back to driving
position in seconds and no need to shouting in a bit out a bit back a bit at the mississ unless that's what she likes

If it's just that the old ones are shot, it's got to be cheaper and easier to buy a replacement pair off E-bay, or somewhere similar. But if you particularly want to change them, then Syncro mirrors have got to be the way to go....
