Default New Mirror Idea??

I was looking at my C2 next to my dad's BMW Mcoupe and it occurred to me that the BMW Z/M side mirrors look very close to being the right mounting angle to our cars. Has anyone tried mounting these? They would look like baby aeros, perhaps more proportional to our cars.

Z3 mirrors; they're on the door.
Good eye, interesting idea. The angle looks close.
It does look like a mini aero mirror. (which I agree look too big)

The Z3 mirror base needs to cover all these holes...

Interesting on the M coupe mirrors. I used to have a M Coupe myself. I'd like to see this.

They look like Jara 18" Cups - 8.5 and 9.5 x 18, ET52 - which used to be sold by Techart.

(Stole this from Pelican BBS)

Gaz,
The mirrors i got from ebay, but i think Strosek would make a batch if they were to get 10 orders.
The wheels are ACP jara 18" one piece cup 1 wheels, 8.5 et52 with Falken 225/40 tyres and 9.5 et52 with Falken 255/35 tyres
