Hey, can anyone vouch for the quality of these wing mirrors?

Also, do they go in place of the triangular facia on the door, or do they stick onto it (i.e are they flush with the rest of the door!)
Cheers for your Help,
James
at that price they look good...they will sit on top of the orig cover and bolt from the inside
very fiddly to get ur hand up there..orig are lot more expensive..depends on ur budget
I suppose since they are easily botled on and off I could try them out!
I\'ve got a set of Re-amemiya ones (similar to these ones) as backup but Im not 100% on the look of them, they also sit over the door
I\'ll give them a punt and see!
Cheers,
James
Brill mirrors had them on my old Skyline, look brill :D
Cheers.. i\'ve put a bid in ;)
Heres a pic with them on the Skyline :cool
Nice car.. I like those wheels, what are they?
James
Volk CE28\'s!.....best wheels ever!
Wheres a good place to find them?
Do they come in silver?
very nice skyline, another top shout for CE28\'s too :)
They look somewhat cheap and plasticy (not the skyline, that\'s awesome!!) on the ebay advert, don\'t they? Real ganadors look more sleek somehow but I can\'t put my finger on it exactly...
My ganadors didn\'t have that triangle bit on the side.

They do come in silver mate, or you can get them in custom colours aswell:Thumbsup!
Best place is Co-Ordsport who are based in Dudley (official UK distributors)
There number is 01384 216102
Bear in mind, they are not cheap, as the are proper motorsport lightweight forged wheels!
Hopefully a bit of paint may bring them to life a little ;)
The guys painting my car seem pretty confident they will come out ok, so worth a punt I reckon.
Out of interest, where would I find a real set of Ganadors? and what are they likely to set me back?
Found some: http://www.neweraparts.com/Default.aspx?tabid=54&txtSearch=ganador&CategoryID=1&List=0&Level=1&ProductID=165
Do they sit flush against the door, or bolt onto the facia like the ebay ones?
James
Do a search in the for sale section, I\'ve got a set I put up with pics of different angles etc.
Im Tempted with them, ill see how this auction does...
James
This auction says they are a straight swap/direct replacment for the standard mirrors..
This is not so as they (as pointed out) fit on the triangle \'thingy\' (note the techincal terms here) rather than in replacement of the standard mirrors.
If you have standard mirrors, they would then need removing, holes filling in on the doors and painted etc.
Just incase you believed all that the advert said..... :mmmm
Yea, i got that ;) i have had the old mirrors removed and the holes welded up
I bought (without thinking about the positioning based on their shape - my stupidity) and sent them back pointing out the inaccuracy of the advert..
Seemingly, the guy hasn\'t learnt... :)
so, he took them back ok? everything worked out for you?
Yeah, he\'s always refunded me stuff if it\'s not right.
No probs with the seller at all - just I sometimes read at face value what\'s there without using my head. Looking at those mirrors it\'s obvious they\'re not a direct replacement, but I still bought anyway.
Did same with an XS Power SMIC. No way was it going in as a direct swap, so no way did I want it. Again, sold as direct replacement so he took it back, but had I used a bit of common sense I\'d have noticed I needed to remove bits etc.
These are *real* Ganador mirrors with the LED repeaters built in...painted and fitted by d-king.

I got them delivered, and to be honest the pictures on the ebay in my oppinion doesnt do them justice.
They come in two parts the triangle bit comes of and i think the will be able to be fitted without them making them a lot sleeker...
Ill see what the body shop can do them and get some photos up.
