Light weight door mirrors?

Seeing as I don't need electric mirrors or the wiring plus they weight a lot does any one know of a non electric light weight option. I used motor bike mirrors on the Swift GTI

I am currently looking at these to retrofit to my '06 MCS. I think it'll bring a little "hotrod" style to our bulldogs. Whatcha think? Still oval, but sleeker.......

If you want to do it for styling reasons then sure, but I wouldn't try to justify it for weight reasons because they don't weigh "a lot".

Thanks for the link, I'm looking for a similar look to the oringinal, maybe in carbon fiber. Regarding the weight issue, it all adds up. With the wiring, mirror and switch that's going to be a few LBS. I'm using fiber glass race seats as they half the weight of the tube frame version. Remember this is going to be a rally car which I want to mee the minimum weight requirement.
