Reflecting on a mirror change

The black mirrors on my car are the next thing on my bug me list.

They look rubbish and the original fitter seems to have been challenged in the use of a tap, and then self tappers !

So, grabbed a set if chrome motorbike mirrors, and in between rain showers today, have fitted on up.

I'm sold on the chrome look, they suit my car better, will get the other fitted and see how they perform.

It stopped raining long enough to dive out again before it goes dark

Like the look, my Rover type mirrors are a pain, I cannot seem to adjust them into the correct position, and they lose adjustment easily,might take one off and see if I can do something like you.  Where did you get the new mirrors from?

The rubber boots never fitted properly and they just didn't fit the screen frame on mine.

Got the mirrors here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pairs-New-10mm-Chrome-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Street-Bike-Custom-Motorbike-Mirrors/332139908627?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

They are a 10mm 1.25pitch thread

I looked at the usual kit car parts places, and they all seemed like similar mirrors, these were cheap enough to take a chance on.

There seems to be plenty of choice in bike mirrors, black or chrome.
