Been looking at these myself,about £70ish I think,look good mate do they fold in or are they a static fitment just the standard ones on mine already scrape the wall when getting it in the gate

Re: can mirrors be sexy!?
I was looking at those as well and yes quite expensive. I didn't want to spend that sort of money without knowing what they were like. Fitment, suitability, sturdy, durability etc.
If it aint broke, get your bloody hands off it!
Re: can mirrors be sexy!?
Yep vtwin they were £74 + £10 postage from italy came in about 4 days really good quality though!! you can adjust the stiffness so you could pivot to fold them in just under a rubber on the knuckle above where it fits to screen will take some close up pics when i get home to show better. Fitment is easy phoenix straight swap off with the old straight on with the new. they come as singles with 2 bases which are handed. really sturdy fit. Obviously the mirror bit smaller than original as its shaped and more streamlined but still can see nicely. Everything tightens up nicely so no movement not too much vibrating..... but hey your fitting them to a storm so what doesn't vibrate!!

Re: can mirrors be sexy!?
I'll not comment on the Christian Deer but the mirrors have a certain attraction. They look better than the standard mirror extenders which, IMHO look even more naff. To actually have a reasonable rear field of view is something I crave.bigtwinthing wrote:fecking great Bambi. oh and shite mirrors, sorry my opinion only.

The deer and cross referee to placidus who was a pagan roman that enjoyed the hunt. While out hunting stag (which was the symbol used for pagens) he came across a magnificent stag, through the stags eyes he saw the light of Christ and Christ spoke to him through the deer. Placidus then coverted to the new religion and his name to St Eustace. The image of the stag and cross refers to this.

The antlers on a stag also resemble spiritual authority as they above the physical head and grow up to the realm of spirits and also regeneration as they die and grow back bigger and stronger
