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!

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!
