    Does anyone have a set of rear view mirrors for a 308 they'd like to sell?

    I prefer the square style ( not sure what they're called), but I'll consider any set that has the enough adjustment to be functional. The set that came on my car must be aftermarket because it's almost impossible to adjust them so I can actually see what's beside and behind me.

    Or, where can I get a set and how much should I expect to pay for them?
    Thanks

    My stock Euro square ones were the same way. Useless as could not see a darn thing. Buy manual adjust look-alikes from Pegasus Racing online. They looks nearly the same but you have PLENTY of adjustment. That is what i use.

    Steve,

    Do you have a part number(s) for them? It would save a bit of searching. I have just the left hand "California" mirror on mine, and you can see NOTHING in it. I'd love to switch to the square one and put one on the passenger's side as well.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    The Pegasus site I found sells Vitaloni mirrors. Is that what you bought?
    Can you tell me specifically which model # ?

    Thanks

    Vitaloni were OEM as well......one thing is the dealer usually mounted them custom to the owner, so placement could vary....

    Later 308s had the screw bosses made into the door.

    Just unbolt the old mirrors and bolt these on. No holes to drill or mods needed. You do not need to remove the door panels! Just remove the cover on the base by the door of your stock mirros, unscrew, unhook the power wires... then screw on the new mirrors and adjust for best vision :)

    As a follow up, I found a great set of replacement mirrors that work perfectly on my 308. Plenty of adjustment.
    They came from Aardvark International in Whittier CA. Telephone 562 699 8887.
    I can't find the web address at the moment. You can call them for it.
    I bought the "Baby Tornado" set in black, which is very similar to the original square style, with an optional right side convex mirror. I think they also have a euro style if that's what you prefer.
    Price was $179 and I got them within a week.
    Look great, and mount on really easy.
