Any body have an Idea where I can purchase a set of the Craftsquare mirrors. I have an 06 Cooper S. I have email a company that use to sell them but now specializes in Lotus. Or if any one know of a company that will import/ export them for me.

Here's a pic

 

Check with MSFITOY. He has a set on his sweet ride. chris

 

Thanks, I talked to him already, he was very helpful, but he had a friend in japan send his.

 

those mirrors are sweet, I would be interested as well if someone could figure out a way to import them... still, major $$$ I think...

 

Whoever gets 'em, be sure to tell us how you mount em. There are tons of people, including me, that would be interested. I might stay with the stock ones. because they are so...i guess smooth. I like that it all flows.

 

Send a PM to ' Lagston ' here on NAM. I think he has black ones.

 

the ones in the pic mount in the same spot as the originals, they have a custom base for it and I think that is mostly what makes them so expensive...

 

Maybe I can find a set of factory from ebay or something and then take a set of good quality mirrors just like the craftsquare and blend and mold them together it could work.

 

I just recieved an email from a japanese importer and it seem they can get the craft square mirror. They can get two type the carbon fiber style and a chrome bullet style, I personally like the carbon fiber. The bullet style lights have a retro look to them. Any way he hasn't emailed me a price yet, but it appears he can deffintly get them. If any body else is intrested pm and let me know maybe he can give me a group rate if we purchase a couple pair. Also expect the price to be astronomical as these have to obviously be imported from Japan.

 

one of our fellow NAMer's may can get us a lower price on a group buy of the craft square mirrors. We need at least 5 people to get a price break so if your seriously intrested lets me know. post your name also. Thanks

 

I had a set on my miata. Very high quality. The end of the mirror is curved so you get a wider vision.. One downside is that it's manual and if someone knocks it while passing by your car, you'd have to readjust it.
But I'd be interested in getting one depending on the price. The US dollar got so weak prices for japanese goods are insane.

 

I'd be interested (for the chrome bullet style) if the price is right

 

I could be interested for price too

 

so far we have 5 interested:
msb2tg
uban
void
rally
postrin
i will post prices as soon as i can get it from the guy.
will let everyone know.
if anybody else is interested, pls add your name here.
tks

 

I'm interested depending on price.
Thanks Doug

 

interested in the CF version (with chrome base as shown in pic?), I have no idea what "chrome bullit style" means - someone please explain w/ a pic

 

google

 

thanks

definitely don't like those...

CF yes!

 

do u guys think it's possible to "homemade" some from a stock mirror base and a universal gt3 mirrors from APR design. just a thought out of no where. but i'm sure is interested in the carbon craftsquare more ~ haha

 

well it depends....you would have to see how far you could take the stock mirror apart.
The hardest part of a DIY project is finding a base that will cover the huge indenation in the door and contour to the door perfectly. If you could get the stock mirror all the way down to just the part that actually touches the door, it would be rather easy to do that. But i think the entire stalk is connected.

 

throw me down for a pair of the cf! depending on price of course...

i found a pair online for a miata. if they're coming straight from japan, these things are gonna cost even more...

i'm gonna guess thats about right for the price...nearly 400 last time i talked to someone about sending me a set.

 

I shot an e-mail to this guy and this is his reply. I'm down for a set but it's gonna have to be later since I am trying to score my hood and trunk.

Hi Justin, Yes I can provide you with Craftsquare mirrors for Mini. I
have close friend in Japan who has Mini shop. What you need to do is
gather up all parties interested in a purchase. I'll contact my vendor
with total amount of sets and provide you with complete costs. You'll
then send me a 20% payment (non-refundable) in advance and I'll order
the sets. Time involved is about 3-4 depending on volume.


Thanks,

the only that scares me is that its a non refundable deposit. but im still interested. lets a get a price solidified and pitch in on these bad boys!

we're going to have to start a craft square mirrors owners club!

 

That's what scares me too! We can have a Mini owner that lives near the shop go and strongarm them if they skate out with our money!
