    Not worked out how I'm going to do mines either - I want all the mirrors shaped and primered at least before I worry about that

    I might split the glass from the rubber/plastic backing thats on it and cut it to size and try and mount that in the mirror then get some reflective plastic and cut it to shape then get some sort of sticky material and join it to that mirror backing...

    But I'll cross that large bridge when I come to it

    Any hints or tips Craig ?

    Looking at these, no. They seem to be all about the shape & to hell with the bodges lurking behind.

    Dave; How are the mirror lenses going to mount in them?
    Skimming with fibreglass first Craig

    also i play to bond a thick piece of rubber to the glass back and then bond that to the mirror, but cut the rubber so tis the right shape so the adjustment of the glass is correct, if you get me
