Anyone with Craftsquare mirrors on their daily driver? Really want to get these but I do a lot of 'close to the kerb' parking often in reverse and was wondering whether the Carftsquare mirrors would be impractical for this?

Thanks.

 

I wouldnt say they are impractical. But Im sure its a PITA to get out and get in to readjust them if they get moved.

 

As mirrors they are great, the driver side is also aspherical so objects are closer then they appear. Took me about a day to get used to that and I jump back and forth between the MINI and a Jeep.

Like UKSUV stated they are a PITA to adjust. I ended up working with a friend to get them right then Red Locktite to keep them right. What really cheeses me off is at Mini Club functions people LOVE to fondle them getting just out of adjustment. Oh and at about 130 mph unless they are secured with locktite the mirrors tend to lose adjustment

 

Thanks guys, not so worried about them being nudged out of place (especially at 130mph ) just trying to reverse park whilst not kerbing my wheels.

 

My teeth do the same thing at about 125mph...



Gnat, you rock.

 

Where can you find them?

Jack

 

I can get you a set...

 

I should have my set for sale here soon. Unless I found out that they work on the R56.

 

If you are the only driver then they are a viable option. If numerous people drive the car they aren't.

 

Bart, I seem to remember a time way back when..ya know when we walked to school both ways up hill in the snow, barefoot even, and I had to suffer the indignity of sharing a car with my father. Way back then you had to manually adjust the mirrors in that base Chevy Nova. Somehow I survived that horrid tragedy.

 

Delta-mini.net - just waiting for a shipping quote from them.

 

Gnaster Whats the average price on a set?

jack

 

anybody?

 

mine were about $550 shipped

 

Delta quoted me £13 for shipping so the total is about £255 shipped to the UK.

 

I ordered mine directly from the manufacturer. Got me a set of the racing mirrors and another of the British racing mirrors...they are top quality. You can find them here www.craftsquare.co.jp
Payed through Pay Pal and shipped to my door... the two sets cost me $997 as I have ordered extra light sensitive lenses ... I think the CF ones will set you back around $475

Good luck

 

Hey does anyone have pics that they can share with the British racing mirrors installed?

Ahh, I forgot about Ca$per's thread...Hmm, Ca$per could you post some more pics of those mirrors? I can't decide if I like them...

 

What angle are you looking for? I have lots of pictures... and I can take more

 

I love the way those mirrors look but tend to adjust mine down when backing into spots so that I can see the curb/white line to get the perfect parking job. I'd never had power mirrors (or windows, locks, ABS, A/C, heated seats...it goes on) before the MINI but they're one of those things I'm not sure I'd want to do without now.

 

Straight on from the front, far angles front and rear, and from inside the cab. Thanks a lot. I appreciate it.
Chris.

 

To this day, I don't know how we survived those days.

I still get nightmares.

 

So how bad are the craftsquare mirrors to install on a scale from 1 to 5 as far as curse factor? With 5 being the worst. I am probably going to get them eventually. It would be nice if there were some other options other than a custom set up.
