So this has obviously been done before. What are some more options?

 

I’ve thought for years that the 2006-2012 Nissan Versa mirrors would look good and fit a Manta or Ascona well. That car has the same general body contour in the mirror area, which is uncommon these days. Plus most modern cars mount the mirrors in the window frame area.

I was going to put a set on my 1975 Sportwagon in fact, but then decided to go with a retro vibe instead.

 

I looked on Ebay and couldn't find any of those Nissan mirrors that stick out from the body of the door. The only ones available were the type that mount to the corner of the window.

 

Just pick a year between 2006-2012 and type it in. I chose “2010 Nissan Versa Mirrors” and a bunch came up.

You could always look at the rectangular GM mirrors that were put on Chevelles and Novas of the era. They even had powered mirrors in the early 70's.

 

I had BMW 2 series mirrors on my Ascona

 

These on the new ElectroMOD Manta GSe are OK. No idea what kind they are though.

 

The talbot style mirrors fit the body style well.

 

Looks great, man! Gonna show this to my uncle tomorrow when I help him installing the suspension from 4 Wheelonline onto his Wrangler.

 

I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm planning on tossing a set of these on mine..

Pretty much the same mirror as for the the early Mustangs and are also available with a convex glass. I have a regular glass on the driver side and convex glass on the passenger side of my GT. The convex helps a little.

 

That's not bad oem.
It keeps the look of that time period.
Do the holes match up so you don't have to drill a new one?

 

This is just one source. Apparently Scott Drake mirrors are a popular brand for replacement Mustang mirrors.

 

I have had 2 different pairs. The first were nice looking, but not great functionally and they wouldn't stay in adjustment. Then I got the second pair (rectangular ones) and they work great.

These are interesting, but he never said what brand/model they were. Can anyone identify them?

 

Remarkably I found the Vitaloni set off my 1975 Manta racecar. They have no rubber bases as they were solid mounted to avoid vibration. They’re about 30 years old but have been off the car for 20 of those years.

The mirrors are both flat with a slight blueish tint to the glass.

Those very much resemble the "California style" mirrors currently on the marketplace.

Another type that was used a lot were Englemann mirrors. You have to make sure to get the type that's a little notched out where the mirror pivots in order for the mirror to be positioned horizontal. Someone sold me a set that were configured for a Manta without the notch out. I ended up putting them on my trailer.

Here's black set for sale:

Here's a carbon fiber set of California style mirrors at a nice price. Do an Ebay search for them, there come in many shape variants.:

I only have one Manta mirror, but this is it.
