Didn't really answer his question there CC <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I've never seen a UK coop with indicators in the mirror, but I'm sure our Continental cousins have done so.

would love to do this to my coop, if you do work out how to do it then let me know please

Now I have vented wings, I didn't want to drill holes in them and ruin them with side repeaters.

I know it's a legal requirement to have them, so was also thinking of putting them in the wing mirrors.

My plan, eventually, is to drill some small holes in the black strip that's at the back of the casing, put some orange LED's in it and get it wired up to the side repeater wires.

When I had an alarm fitted to the Coupe today, I had a quick word with the auto elecs' about the possiblilty of doing the above and they didn't seem to think it would be a problem, as long as there was enough room behind the mirror glass for the LED's and the wiring.

It's something I'll be looking into more if and when I get pulled by the police for not having side repeaters.

It would be a complete piece of cake to do, question is...would it look right? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

IMHO it would look wrong, not stupid, just wrong. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I think it would look o.k. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> but I'll let you try it first <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.

Heres a really quick mockup using mirrors from this site

Clicky

Looks weird but then maybe thats just my lack of photoshopping skills <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

na your right, looks weird

Not MURPLE as there is no such word I will stick with blue as the log book says. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
And it's nothing to do with not being into Italian cars as my last 7 cars have been Italian.
The Photoshop mock-up looks strange as it s white light not orange
The wing mirrors on the coupe look to have a black removable piece just the size for an indicator

also have wing vents, and wanted to do this, but I think there must be another way, wonder if its possible to make that back cover with a black perspex with a high powered orange bulb behind?? G.

can any one do a photoshop with m3 mirrors for me plz they have some with indicators

I thought this would be cool however I bought a second hand to experiment with. it is far to small to work with and if it did work, it would never look any better than some leds stuck on the otherwise good looking wing mirrors.

thanks for trying and leting us no mate ta

If you're not using that second hand you could maybe sell it to GotaGreenOne <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Heres one on Kevs Coop I think the original coop mirrors converted would look <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

(I didn't know it was a legal requirement to have side indicators) <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

On all vehicles after 1984 I think.

I am looking at fitting this type what do you think

They look absolutely disgusting IMHO <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

we sell dtm mirrors with indicator lights, manual and electric

noooo why would somene do that to a coupe!

I think potentially it could looks good.

However the mirrors of the coupe are gorgeous. You'd have to be mad to change them. So any design that incorporated an indicator would have to be identical to the original mirror design. Perhaps just the tips of the black part as the indicator.

i agree the wingmirrors on the coop are georgeous, incorperating the indicator into the arm part of the wing mirror would be better. A.. as this part always gets corroded and B.... you won't spoil the design shape of the mirrors. will try and mock up something and post asap!

Exactly!!! i reckon its do-able and would look gorgeous! <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
