Cheers mate ,didnt realise they would need to be imported , so there will be import taxes ect on top -maybe slightly too much to spend at the moment , monza IIs and the R32 rear are first on the list!

The ones I bought were only a bit more so they might be real. They were a good fit too although I no longer have them

From the pics in that ebay link they look like real carbon. But obviously cheap versions as from Taiwan.

Those literally look like carbon shells to fit over the existing mirror, rather than a replacement cover.

The only issue with those types are that they don't always fit snugly over the existing cover and end up showing the original piece.

They are shells. This forum is expensive, I'm now thinking of getting some proper carbon fibre mirror housings. Does anyone know a good source (other than OSIR). I've seen danishmkvgti has a set he got for around £100.
