Right guys!

I just got myself a set of M3 style mirrors I got them from Halfords! Now I also ordered a plate to fit nova!

When i got the mirrors at halfords they said that the plate is already on the mirror and i think that when plate comes it wont fit the mirror cuz its already there. The mirror looks like one main part and the second part attached to it so if it has one plate there how do i remove it?

ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!!!

PLEASE!!!!!

Should have bought some M3s of ebay mate, ?30 including baseplates. I bet halfords were a lot dearer than that.
I got DTMs for my astra because they are much more pulled in to the car, and so they reduce the cars width by about 4inches each side. Let me get through tighter gaps, and make it easier to reverse out of my drive gates.
I only paid ?25 for my DTMS with baseplates to my astra, but that was second hand.

Halfords will tell you anything to get you to buy something. :evil:

Do you guys think i should have a bit of an argument with Halfords about waht they said and make them refund me the difference that i could have paid with someone else!? Just to teach them a lesson! 8) :D

True about not being able to see.
I can't see nothing out of my passenger mirror, they are crap for that.
Drivers mirror is alright.
Just comes to a bit of a problem when you need to swap lanes left on a dual carriageway or motorway,just have to trust my passenger as you can see great from the passenger seat,LOL.
I would go to halfords about the M3s they are a lot cheaper anywhere else, you pay extra for the privilege of buying them from halfords,LOL.

Just a quick one! Does door mirrors on all novas (saloon incl) are the same? Cuz the base plates i got they do not exectly fit! :( Had to modify them a bit! :(
