BASE PLATES

[staffychance]

anyone have pics of dtm, m3,m5 mirror base plates for nova as i need some to modify and what the ones that need the least amount of work on them.

mate, phone essex racing. www.essexracing.co.uk or something similar.

They do DTM and m3 mirrors with base plates for ?35 but they sell the base plates seperately for about a fiver.

Might be easier and will certainly look better.

both dtm and mr base-plates are the same units.

i uised racing mirrors on mine, and just cut some alloy plates to size and bolted the mirrors to that. Looks better as there's no overhand seen from the inside (as yoou will with other baseplates) and the alloy matches other alloy detailing on the car.

such as my rusty chrome wiper arm. lol

you can buy a universal baseplate kit from somewhere like ripspeed. i used one when i fitted my manta mirrors. its basically a flat piece of plastic which you cut to size and you get a bag full of assorted screws and washers lol
