Well i dont really want dtm mirrors more the led indicators i'm after so i can flush the wings. tbh i did see an e30 with a black pair and looked alright

whattaya think

[pac1982]

Unless its a track car they look a bit shitty, and as for indicators in the mirrors that looks really gay the E30 is far to 1980's to have indicators in the mirrors it would just look wrong

[Zizzle]

Dont like them

[Duke137]

They ruin E30's IMO because E30 80's "box" styling doesn't suit the round in shape DTM Mirrors (plus they are abit chavvy)

Why you would want to flush the wings i dont know as it really wont make much of a difference and the car in your other link has yank spec wings

Leave your E30 as it was when it left the factory and only fit OE stuff with the exception of ICE doing anything non OE to any BMW makes it look cheap and tacky if you want to do that that sort of thing you should have got yourself a Vauxhall Corsa!

I posted a thread in regards to flushing the indicators in the wings a little while back. Apparently you can get the little flasher strips which sit flush in the front bumper of US ebay.

[mc_hawkings24]

got any links to the flasher units bud?



heres one that was in another thread, just think it looks cleaner without the indicator and i'm painting it in January

[pac1982]

Fair play i see your point it does look cleaner but IMO fitting indicators in the mirrors will look much worse than haveing OE ones in the wings

Proper carbon DTM replica mirrors are awesome. Tat with indicators in are....... Erm Tat!

[mc_hawkings24]

I found some genuine motorsport ones on ebay that look no different but are 360quid lol
so i'd have some very expensive tat lol

Check out this thread, there's a pic of a zoner's project with the flashers fitted:

hey i found a usa pic and some indicators on usa ebay, and its still in keeping with the standard if not american look

I looked through that mot leaflet and if as was said to you, tape the indicator to the wing it might fail as its not permanently secure but then its who you know i suppose

MOT isn't an issue at all, i take around 4 cars a week in, so i get looked after "well"

[mc_hawkings24]

I suppose i work in an mot garage lol but better to be legal than an illegal
just the plod side of things i'm worried about, will have to ask my plod mate when i see him.

Looks real good..!!!!

Do it..!

If you leave the holder and fittings behind the wing.. all you need to do is pull it out for an MOT!

[Kos]

genuine DTM mirrors are cool.

the crap e bay ones with, or any universal ones are just shite

They really wouldnt question it.. the motors tooo old.. to be worried about..

if your getting TUGGED for no indicators.. i swear.. the met.. MUST be suffering from serious boredom

[mrLEE30]

with the "DTM" style mirrors and how i bought it...



and how it is now and was meant to be..



the best mod i did to the car since i bought it, i can even see cars behind me now...which is nice

[SHAKEELE30]

that what ive read somewhere too, that the vision with those mirrors is pretty much useless, cant see much behind or on the side of you.... so stick to originals...
