hey

i can use some ideas on some nice mirrors that i can use on a type 3

i still have the original hole in the door, i didn't want to have it welded since i didn't know what mirror to run

but all ideas are welcome. i am looking at talbot mirrors and that turbostyle mirror... but i just can't decide.

thanks

There were Talbot mirrors made specifcally to fit Type 3's (and late beetles) which screw right into the original mirror hole, but these are very rare. There is also a similar mirror for the co-pilot side with 2 screws. I've seen 2 sets of these in the real and once missed a pair on ebay.de.

allright that looks all good to me. so now i only need to buy one if money can afford... any leads on a nice one for me???

 Grin

but just checking, nobody runs turbo mirrors these day anymore. i still like them. but they need to be painted in the colour of the car and that is not an option at the moment. i have seen to much bodyworkers and painterbills these last years...

thanks allready

any other good suggestion is always welcome

If you like "Turbo mirrors" isn't that then the best possible reason to fit them?

Turbo Mirrors are the BOMB... if you like them, run them! I'm not quite ready to mount them, but some day, sure!
