still interested in the CF version, just want to see the final quote and a clarification on the shipping details... (3-4 what?)

 

i'm quite interested too, but really depends on the price quote.. awaiting for it !

 

Number one here...I forgot who's 2, 3 and 4...I don't know if there are currently more on Minis in the States

Expect to pay at least $400 USD...

 

i know that langston has a set....so there is atleast one more

sid your car is looking great...as always

 

Thanks Would you believe that was 20 minutes after driving through a major DP? Used up every towel in my boot to get her back to presentable formlol:

 

hahah it always seems to happen that way. Clears up and gets sunny just in time for the show when everyone would wonder why you car looked like it had been through a big storm

 

I have a set as well. I have a friend in Japan that sent me a set from Craft Square there. I think with exchange and shipping I paid about $460 for the pair. Easy to install, just unscrew the old ones and ziptye on the old mirrors electircal connection. Look sweet. I blacked out the base as well. I dont know why they dont sell them in the USA, but I heard that Sector 111 would get them too if wanted. They sell them for the Lotus Elise/Exige. www.sector111.com

Good luck, Andy

 

It's Lagston, not Langston. I posted this on page 1 and correcting you in case people try a search.

 

We're still on page one aren't we

 

oops thanks dude....typo

 

i see pg 2.....i think it depends on how you set up your NAM viewing

 

so I love the look of these mirrors but I'm concerned about someone stealing them - if they normally attach with just 2 screws from the outside it's only a matter of a few turns & 20 seconds to take them off... not sure how the factory mirrors are attached but can these puppies be attached in a less inviting kind of way - from the inside of the door? maybe find screws with torx heads?

Sid - any thoughts/suggestions?

 

The OEM ones attach in the same way. 10 minute removal tops

 

Just to let you know I will be able to get these for you once I am back in Tokyo this summer.....

 

You guys can count me in as well for the Carbon Fiber ones! (if of course the price is right)

 

Please count me in depending on price and availability

 

Power drill and zip....they're off Steal them yourself and lock them in the boot if that is a concern...I lock my whole Mini in the garage...very inovative

 

here is the deal from the vendor:

"I will attach some pictures of our primary color CooperS side mirrors
Please check them out.
Unfortunately, we can not offer you the price you would like.
These mirrors are for BMW MINI, not for motorcycles. That means you do not need any modification
on your customers' MINI. It is bolt-on kit.

Here are the price we offer:

1set order: \73,500 + forwarding cost( \6,000)

Total amount: \79,500 approx(701.00 ) usd


5sets and more order: \63,700/(561.68 usd)each + forwarding cost( It depends on the quantity and weight)

For example: 5 sets
\318,500 ( \63,700 x 5sets) + forwarding cost(\25,000)

Total amount: \ 343,500(3,028.30 usd) 605.66 usd per person approx.


Waiting for your reply."

(conversion is an estimate based on exchange rate)
i tried to see if we can get a bigger discount if we have more people, but he said those mirrors are just made for the mini specifically, or you can find a motorcycle mirror to modify!! anyways, the other guy tommy, local guy from la is going to bring some back for $520 a piece if he gets an order of 5 or more..
i have ordered stuff from the guy in japan and it takes them three days to get here in the us.
so i leave it to you guys to decide if you still want them.
i will place my order either by myself or if anybody here is still interested let me know.
btw i still asked him to try to see if he can lower it to the $400 usd range, i think that may be a little bit reasoable, he will get backto me tomorrow.

Hey...they've appreciated in price...kewl

 

This might be a realy stupid question, but are these manual or do they have a motor for adjustments?

Thanks,
John

 

manual

 

man it's all your fault , had to see pics of your car with these made me want them on mine!!

 

yeah I figured I was going to get this reply...

funny... very funny... I better put my garage in my pocket when I go for a drive and stop downtown...

 

I don't know if they make any torq bolts long enough to replace the hex bolts they come with, but I just filled the hex holes with some black RTV silicone!! Or you could put some caps over them. Stock mounting uses three bolts and the Craft Squares use two. I ordered mine through Sector 111, about $550+ after shipping

 

There are shops that cater to metric nuts/bolts...however...the thief only needs torq bits and you're back to square one
