Re: C5 mirrors (Mr Mojo)
Nice car you have there. In my opinion the C4 mirrors fit the lines of your car much better than the C5. Is it that the C5 has larger mirrors or why are you looking to do this?

Hey, thats my car! Here are some images of the mirrors, it was really easy, but you have to make your own adapters. I made mine out of semi hard rubber, and it looks like a factory job. You can even wire them to work with your mirror switch, and defrost switch.

Re: C5 mirrors (soundkillr)
after seeing those pics, they don't look so bad, but I still like my "Camaro" mirrors.

Re: C5 mirrors (silver & red CE)
actually there is no wind noise that I have noticed, and in fact the visability is far better.... :cheers:
BTW just ignore that first link, for some reason it is showing pictures of some of my plastic models I built....

Ben, I remembered seeing your post back a few months ago, hope you didn't mind me using your pic to show how they look on a C4. Could you take some closeups around the gasket area? Thanks, R :steering:

hmmmm. Actually don't look that bad. The mirrors on these cars are a little small. But then again...no one is ever that close behind me to worry when passing :D :jester
