so I've only got the driver's sideview on my ke55 coupe and it's got a big chip missing

I wanna replace it with something more classic than that black headed thing

 

 

Ideally I'd like some that are from maybe an earlier corolla, all chrome or something? And I also want both sides done.

 

no fender mirrors!

 

 

any ideas?

 

cheers

G`day mate, they might be a bit hard to find, but early Falcons came with external chrome mirrors. The door shape was similar to the 55`s so they should look ok. I had a pair on a ke10 way back when.

The other option is to go for the conical shaped GT mirrors that are available on Gaybay.

Cheers.

As a refference: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1960-61-62-63-FALCON-CONV-OUTSIDE-REAR-VIEW-MIRROR-NEW-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem19b1791759QQitemZ110351685465QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

yeah that's pretty good looking!

 

how about the early rollas, ke10-25 etc? did any of them have all chrome door mirrors on both sides?

I am looking at some clip on chrome jobbies for the TE27, and also for the KE15 to supplement the standard fender mirrors which are a bit hard to adjust to.

 

Have a look on UK ebay and search 'chrome bullet mirror'

 

There are screw on ones there too, but I quite like the short arm clip on fiat items. Bit pricey though.

Early mazdas also had chrome mirrors,.... but they're getting a little pricey these days.

another option is the older style 'peep mirror'. you'll never get a great view out of one but you'll see enough not to merge into a truck. TE278U had these on his TE27 corolla. i'll try and find a photo of his car.

 

 

EDIT: for some reason it won't let me post the pic so here's a link. TE27 with mirror.

These are the ones I was thinking of

Plus there are plenty of listings selling this style

You can also get the second style in a clip on

If you go to places like Scott's, Bill Thompson Auto Rubbers, rare spares etc, I suspect they will stock something like the last two.

saw this lovely wagon today

 

anyone know what kind of mirrors these are???

 

cheers

I'm pretty sure those above are available from your local supercheap or autobarn as store stock, pretty cheap too :cool:

Yep I have some like that.. about 20 bucks each and they give good vision and look alright too :wink:

Early galant mirrors are nice lookin but hard to find. Look like the aftermarket one on that wagon, but better quality. The aftermarket ones are chrome plated plastic.

+1 for peep mirrors.

heres mine

 

I like peep mirrors but unfortunately there's no good way to mount them on a pillarless coupe!

Hi have a r/h mirror for a RT132 liftback corona that fits on door and is chrome, try googling images for liftback coronas, but unfortunatly i only have r/h side.
