Vitaloni baby turbos on a bus?

[kra710]

I was wondering if anyone has seen this, Im getting my bus painted right now and before she gets out of the shop I need to purchase a few things. mirrors are one of them. How is the installation over the raised bump for the stock vw mirrors, I dont want to drill up the door for mounting holes if these mirrors arent very good. Hows the build quality. Know of any places to get some good mirrors from,
vitalonis

my paint scheme subaru rally blue and silver
Ill put pics up on the site when i get it out of the shop

Thanks

I'm not sure if you get this model in the USA but the sort of mirrors I'm thinking about fitting to my baywindow when I restore/GL it are fitted to the Peugeot 807 or this Citreon C8.

The good thing about these mirrors are that they have indicators/turn signals fitted.

The Vitos are ok but you would be happier with some kind of OE mirrors. None of the aftermarket mirrors I ever had were very solid or strong and the mirror glass itself is not the greatest. The problem with getting mirrors off a wreck is that they were not made to fit your bus and you have to use a little imagination to get a set that you can modify to fit...
I used a set off an early Mazda Miata/MX5. I had to modify the ball that the mirror pivots on to get them to bend up enough to be level.

well the vitalonis arent being made anymore but i managed to find someone who has a new set. Im gonna see how they look and if they dont look right i was thinkin some off an older porsche944 will work judging by the mount for it

I don't recall ever seeing the front of Panelfantastic's Uberpanel. That sucker rocks! :agree:

Hey Panelfantastic, are those naca ducts working now? I still want to install some on my bus using the holes alreay there for the rear turn signals. that front logo is quite the badass

well on my search for mirrors on ebay i tried a number of entries, this one came up with them. He lists them under a variety of model cars, but they are universal fit mirrors alot smaller than they look i found out, but they look really cool. They also seem pretty rigid, The only reason i didnt go with vitalonis was because they looked cheap and would eventually move around when traveling at speed. I tightened the heck out of these and they wont move even when i slam the door, which i never do... if this doenst work i searched for carbon sports mirror, I bought them from angeleyelister
