what mirrors are these?

Post by kev »

Found this picture randomly online and was wondering if anyone knows what mirrors those are? Also I like the driving lights, I wonder how they mounted them?

It is hard to tell from the picture. They almost look like the later Pininfarina mirros found on the 83 - 85 years in the US but mounted on the door like the earlier years not on the glass like the later years?
Buon giro a tutti! - enjoy the ride!

Hmm...That's what they must be. I like the look, I wonder how they are mounted.

I thought they look like Vitaloni Baby Turbos but have not seen Baby Turbos for the last twenty years. Do they still make them?

I just was showing you the style on a google search. I know nothing about that company and you may find some cheaper. Use to sell them at Pep Boys and such. May even try Ebay.

Ya I did a bit of looking around and the cheap ones are all around that price. If you want real vitaloni mirrors they are a lot more...

I might have gotten a bad one but, I am using that same 14 dollar mirror and everytime I take off, the adjustment moves. It likes to be in one position and won't move from that position but, that's not where I need it. :roll:

Sometimes you can tighten a screw or nut within the mirror to get them to hold better.

Any chance you have a picture of your car with the mirrors you wouldn't mind posting?

I used to know how to post pictures on here but I can no longer figure it out. If you got a personal email, send me a note on here and I will shoot you a pic of the driver's side with the mirror. The look is right on, I will have to try and tighten it to see if it works. Removed the passenger side and welded up holes B4 paint because I could not see out of it anyway. :mrgreen:
