Hi all,

I have now got the wing mirrors back from the sprayshop but are unsure which option to take??

I have the normal Nova wing mirrors which have been colour coded to match the rest of the car - straightforward - nothing special.

I also have some DTM style mirrors which are painted anthracite (same colour as the alloys) but are unsure if they look OK ?

Hence the request for your opinion. Photos below :-

Normal mirrors, you could go for stubby nova mirrors for something a bit different that suits the shape of the nova 8) :wink:

Go for normal Mirrors. Never liked that style of DTM Mirrors.

Out of the 2 selected then i would go for the standard ones, but if after another idea then Astra GTE MK2 mirrors are the best suited to Nova's and easy enough to wire in the electrics as well.

Are they a straight swap?

I voted for nova mirrors, the DTM are too round for the square shape of the nova.

With the Lengths Joff has gone to they might as well be.

Not so true,when i had the standard ones on my car the frigin 1/4 light bar got on my tits being in the way of your view,and i found the DTM ones i coud see more in them and wer better at night with blue tint glass(though i only have one with mirror in it now,lol)
