that the ones wow i just love them!where can you get them from or are they from another car?
A Manta 400 lol or eBay
Is it only me that rates these the same as chrome M3 mirrors? As in look to$$?
their off the opel manta 400's, rare as rocking horse poop, when a set do pop up they go for a fair bit

My personal favourite are standard mirrors, because they suit the tetris timelines of a Nova, and they actually let you see backwards at speed instead of vibrating like funk

Aye not as bad, worse.

Not a fan either, dont think they suit the lines of a nova well. Look very out of place.

^^ you're all nuts
those mirrors are sexual :D
i used to have a pair, paid about £35 for them and stupidly left them on the car after i'd crashed it :(
that car went to the scrapyard with those mirrors, cobra seats... the lot. whoever found it in the yard must have had a field day stripping it!

just found some manta mirrors on ebay over £100 nearly finished!will keep my eye out for some though!
they can only be some german aftermarket ones cos manta 400's were very few & far between. irmscher must have dug them up somewhere

They were produced by Engelmann & specced on Manta's.
There are hundreds out there.
[edit] M3's & DTM cup mirrors look gash on all cars esp Novas. Shorty mirrors FTW!
Got a set of engelmann mirrors here for sale....

they lok cool as funk imo, i cant believe aamir still has his for sale tbh - if i had any spare money id have them straight away
although they do look better on mk1 novas i think
