| undecided, don't know if I like it for not.... thing is I look at it as a L plater with 5 L plates front and rear, you have 4 blinkers running down the size of your car, a bit overkill. |

| A mate of mine has a 320 hard top convertible with those mirrors. I like very much. What model did they come off, or were they the ones Neil was selling? |

| Ian the mirror caps bought from Japan thanks to Lew. Steven, I count 3 indicators as the front turning lamps are converted to LED ultra bright parking lights From the rear you only see the rear indicators and from the front only the mirror and the front headlight indicator Even though it is lowered the 20" rims make it look like the car is sitting high and a body kit should lower the whole thing. Thats what I'm working towards any way. |

| I think it looks to nice as it is. A body kit would just make it another riced up car. |

| Oh it IS a cat Matthew. I thought it was a small garden sized stuffed Moa, coz the cat's tail looked at 1st glance like the neck of a Moa. Ok I'm weird, I know I like the mirrors Brett |

| Adam these are "caps" that fit over the existing mirrors. So all normal mirror functions work. As for the cat he is normally on top of the car asleep on the sunroof. Thank you Katrina. |

| Has anyone noticed you turned your blinker to park light, I think we would fail a pink slip if we done that mod in NSW...... |

| Steven the lower triangular shaped light low on the front bar is a turning lamp (white light) that stays on (does not flash) when either side indicator is going. I think you will find this is an extremely common mod on the soarers to convert them to park type lights. |

| Exactly the plan Nathan and James - should give the car a much lower look! |
