    They are on eBay usually, look for "FK mirrors". They are universal but sell them with different bases. Here is a pic of them on my car:

      Possible... And my pass side mirror didn't have glass. It was missing when I bought it and I never had it made, lol

        old323 take this as you wish, but you NEED your chrome kidneys back on. Am I the only one who thinks black kidneys cheapen the appearence of the car?

        "Having won more road races than any other model in history, the E30 M3 is considered by many to be the world's most successful road race car." - Simply put, E30s kick ass.

          Totally agree mate ;) on an early but on a late like Jakes white one I think it looks schmooooooth to have black.
          Mainly did it is they looked horrid all faded etc, they are 22 years old after all.
          On the list of things to do but I also like swapping and changing so will keep the black ones as well.
          Yeah the mirrors are fairly light black plastic, have seen them on ebay also. What sort of money do FK ask for them in $USD.
          We will be selling them for around $150AUD through shop which i think is pretty reasonable.

              They sell for about $125USD on eBay, $250 for powered versions I think. $125 USD is like $168AUD so that is a good price.

                    I LOVE your car. So clean and sick looking. Don't change a thing. :up:

                    Damn, you guys have got some itty-bitty license plates. Must be nice.

                          Wish somebody would make a quality vented DTM mirror replica...that didn't cost a boatload.

                          I just don't like the shape of the Cup mirrors.

                              The base is basically an OEM copy, they fit fine.

                                Yeah with mine it is just the mirror to the base that does not fit so well, will take some better pics when I get a chance, fkn flat chat at moment,

                                Aus boys missin out tonight, black spur is just awesome, not as scenic as Great Ocean Road but much smoother, smoother than Calder infact.

                                Thanks for all the comments guys, it blows me away how much you US guys like the old BlingBumpMobile, I feel so inadequate with all of these late model legends over here so its good to see there are still some early lovers out there. Quite ironic that I have no kit lol. Just coz i sell em doesnt mean Im a fan, well I am but felt as all i would be doing is being a late model try hard so I wear the BlingBumps with pride :)
                                FFS Jake, be the first to convert a late to BlingBumps :p
