True... These were brand new doors and hadnt had a hole drilled yet when I put them on
I *THINK* the base of the mirror would be large enough to cover the stock hole though.... Worth checking if someone has the bits.

the mirror moves within the housing rather than the whole housing moving doesnt it sam?
Yup, and the whole housing pivots at the base too. Slightly tinted glass too, which reduces glare from them.

Do it, it looks Sooooo much better, and all you need is some plastic primer, some high build primer and some car colour.
