Yep been fitting my astra mk2 mirrors today! Little bit of work involved but Well worth it. High spec electric mirrors! :)

Im temped to make a "How To" but not sure if its worth it!

To be honest they arnt screwed up on those pics so they are a big tighter to the door.

Going to be cutting up my electric switch holder for the mirror switch.

Each to there own i spose, I like them, Still got some of the oringnal look, but with the added of a electric adjuster and yes it has a bit more of smooth lines.

I cant wait untill i can get them working (soon)

EDIT: Tomorrow i will post another pic, that pic isnt best tbh, makes it look round

not my cup of tea either, but good work nonetheless.

I'm in process of electrifying my spare set of Nova mirrors. Done one, just need to source another motor to do the other lol

Why, its so easy to convert Nova mirrors to electric. The standard bodies are ready for motors, just slot em in and they are done. The motors can be found on another Vauxhall model ;)

Cos ive seen another nova with them on, and they looked good IMO, and i just wanted to be different. Maybe i should have keept this quite.

i think they would look ok if they actualy fitted properly and followed the lines of the nova door. just u can see a sorta gap at the top edge and see the comletely diffarent shape n the corner. otherwise not bad at all imho

Not to my taste but good work.

Make a How To thread anyway.

Could help someone in the future.

Like i said that 1st pic was taken before i screwed it in place, and i think the bit you could see anyways was the foam attached to the mirror!

Edit: That bit you can see is the bit from the mirror, it disapears, think it was from where the rubber sits on the astra
