Ganador Style Mirrors

[VR4WGN]

well i had these painted up for my car almost a century ago now ,and then they were not the right backing plates so i fabricated a new mounting pod out of fibreglass and made steel plates with bolts welded and its all go..
ready to sculpt the top hat and then pain the pod
and lay indicator wiring to the mirror.

should look somewhat pretty when its on i reckon

just filled in time after cleaning workshop to start the Race car mods..
Shhhhh dont tell Brad..

Feel like painting them poison ivy?

[VR4WGN]

[mattnz]

Are those indicators on the side?

[VR4WGN]

ill show pics when the covers are painted satin black wich should be today.. Matt yes theyr indicator leds.. but im going to change them to white instead of the orange they are..

[aboo]

Look good Q. Like the indicator on them.

[mattnz]

If you've got indicators on the wing mirrors, could you get rid of the side indicators?

[VR4WGN]

dont see why not Matt AFAIK my eof flatmate says not that he can see it being a wof issue

[VR4WGN]

well heres the fginished article...

have not got time yet to hook up the indicators yet,but am thinking of doing somehting different with them anyhow.. more of a Merc effect ,but will see later on...

must say i love them,sitting in the car looking at them looks way better than seeing it from the exterior tho...

[VR4WGN]

i did rotate that bloody picture...

[Gly]

do they stick out as much as the factory ones?

they look ok? not sure, may grow on me??

only issue i can see is that they dont fold?
have the give the factory ones do when someone knocks them

[VR4WGN]

the dont stick out as much as the OEM ones do but sit angled and better,only showing you what yuou need.. and they flex both up and down and sides,theres a huge spring inside to take them,although theyr not designed in the shape to allow for flex really but will happily move if needed

I quite like the look of them. I also really like the integrated indicator which, IMHO, makes it easier for people to see when you are turning.

[mattnz]

Do you just tap into the side indicator to hook up the mirror ones? And are they incandescent, or LED?

[VR4WGN]

LED and yes tap in,i dont know wether ill need to insert a resistor or something Being LED and if it may affect the alarm but ill get there later lol...

[VR4WGN]

and the indicators are fitted!!
aswell as the BOV and the under tray.. and the prototype dash surround!!
and the Fujitsubo legalis System is on aswell, its much softer than the
pfl version but is deeper sounding and is awsum at cruise speed(best pipe iv ever heard)
and fitted the loudest air horns ever!!
bit of a VR4WGN day yesterday,(my last day at the shop fulltime lol)

the Evo Clutch is in(thanx to Carsten for the clutch)
and the MAP2 ECU is going in on Tuesday

im thinking of getting the underbody textured to elimenate more road noise too..
and my Super Kit is in the process of being manufactured(YAY)
and AND the 2.5" Downpipes go on this week too

Looking good Q. I've been looking at modern cars with indicators on the mirrors since I saw this thread & they don't have side repeaters on the wings so you could loose them. In the UK anyway. Dont know about NZ.

[VR4WGN]
