Typically with a Version 1 install shops have just installed a simple Vinyl over the plinth. The reason we stopped producing those was due to slight variances in the cars. On a better note, your Mirror mounts are scheduled to be shipped by Friday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xisthos Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 Really looking forward to this. Blasted down at around 260+ last night and I was horrified to find that my mirrors were practically in a closed position, like how you would find it in cars with automatic foldable mirrors!

MartynB Posted September 30, 2016 Report Share Posted September 30, 2016 To hopefully cap off this off topic bit about OEM mirrors that won't stay put, I believe the accepted wisdom is that if they do wander, then the fix is to open them up down to the ball joint and roughen that up with fairly coarse sandpaper. As Ryan's dealer found out, there's no "tension adjustment", it's just the friction of the ball joint surfaces that provides any adjustablity. Segueing back to topic, the Motoworks mirror has a properly adjustable friction ball joint. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car is black, so pretty easy to match. Though others may want the V2 so its easier Correct, the product we supply should not move at any speed. Once they are adjusted in place that's it. In all respect to the factory mirrors, I never really encountered issues, just the fact that they were an eye sore and heavy. Here's ChrisC's Gloss Black finished mirror mounts going out today.

550superfast Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Please post a close up photo of the V2 on the car, I would like to see how it mounts to the car, and what it looks like fitted - thanks.

Hi Gary, As promised, here are some close-ups of the v.2 of the actual mount to plinth fitment. We'll be applying a vinyl over the plinth over winter therefore you'll notice some blemishes on the door plinth due to removal of the factory mounts which are larger. Thanks.

Chrisc Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 Sorry, it was the mounts that have turned up! Just got back in the office today, and they are here. Mirrors are in the post office, but will be here tomorrow If anyone is interested in buying these, then let me know! As unfortunately the Exige has gone, as planning on an Evora for next year.

Chrisc Posted October 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2016 £400 with next day delivery if anyone wants a V1 set. Proper carbon mirrors as well, not the cheaper versions. Or collection is welcome. These are £480 with customs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Banks Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I just received Chris's mirrors and V1 arms. Just for some feedback, the instructions are not very clear at all, verging on making no sense! Also, the mirrors have "Wide and superior view by MRacing" written in to the mirror. I can see why chris sold these on. Ah well, you win some, you loose some. Quote 2015 Orange Exige V6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisc Posted October 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 I was actually impressed with the quality, especially on the mirrors. Although the writing was a tad inappropriate ideally. They would have been fitted if I had a car to put them on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Chris for your response to the buyer above :). The decision to place the text isn't a TransForged thing I would not have that text in place, it's the manufacturers.
