type3kid - May 12th, 2008 at 12:23 PM

hey all.

i want to put chrome mirrors on the side of my 76 gold, preferably something not too common, moving toward custom.

anyone know where i can track some down. not sure what exact shape i'm after, i guess i'll know the right ones when i see them!!

cheers

There's so many websites that you can check. Try Rare Spares, Rocket, and some of the sponsors in Cruizin Mag.

The 'bullet' mirrors are fitted to almost all of the English sports cars we get at work, so will be different for a VW. Unfortunately there are only so many designs for a mirror, so they are all sorta common. Skull shape would be different.

i've seen somewhere the mirrors that are the cross shape, they look pretty sick.
