I've never been able to get any! there used to be a german company that made complete mirrors for the mk3 but the were about 200 quid a go! I've got dtm mirrors on mine and just made my own baseplates out of some plastic and some machine screws. (basically you cut the plastic to the same size as the triangle bit on the std mirror, drill holes in the std places, countersink them, fit some long m4 machine screws through holes (dont secure them with any nuts yet) fit the baseplate to the dtm mirror (i used universal ones)using self tapping screws (its worth drilling a pilot hole and countersinking them). you should now have one complete unit that will fix to your door using the machine screws like studs. I used a star washer and two nuts as the star washer will stop the stud from spinning and the second nut stops any chance of the mirror loosening off!

i just rang venom motorsport and they do do them i.e fk do them e.t.c and they can get them..BUT venom wont sell them!!!!!!! how great is that! cus they said they have sold a few sets b4 and they have all come bk cus they just dont fit!!!!!! he said they are such a poor fitment that u have 2 drill the holes out in you are doors e.t.c so I'm bk 2 square 1!

THANKS STUEYB!

It amazes me sometimes how many products are supposed to fit say mk2/mk3's and they just completely don't. I mean really what did you they use to produce the product in the first place. Surely it was trial fitted during production?

Sorry to hear that rob, i think making your own is gunna be your best bet.

Keep an eye on ebay.de for some KPU and Muhr mirrors

Find a copy of Fast Car from like 1993. They're sure to have some examples in there.
