Probably going to get flamed, but I can't stand the standard 'shrek's ears' and any attempt to get them looking less shite by spraying them gloss black fails because of the crappy plastic they're made of.
SO who has aftermarket mirrors? M3 style or whatever, show me some pics actually fitted to the car, as the photos on eBay aren't helpful at all.
Also, anyone got electric ones? As I'd really like to maintain the electric functionality, as it's so useful for not kerbing my Halfords wheels.
Cheers 'en

I've never seen any aftermarket mirrors that look better than standard.

See, I really do detest the standard ones, they might look okay if I could get them in a good gloss black, but it's a complete nightmare, so I want rid of the bastards

Yeah, I quite like them...but I also like being able to use them!

My HDi had DTM electric mirrors on it when I got it, personally they looked gash!! And could not see anything with them but if you are honestly that disgusted with the standard wing mirrors I can upload a photo for you?

So let me get this. You are looking at M3 mirrors, but these look pants?

They look much better than the others, but would have to be on the right car I think...
