New mirrors

[freshtiva]

I got an option today that Ive never had before. Trims screws, innner and outer gaskets , mounting screws, inside trim piece all included. I love them !! Great shape too.

There really are things that you don't have? I figured you'd have every option offered for every variety of Festiva ever offered, including the dust that came from the factory. :p

Really though, those are nice. How hard would it be to find a pair like that?

[freshtiva]

^I dont know how hard they are to come by. I used to look over ebay UK and ebay AUS from time to time but dont recall any being listed. I assume UK and AUS would be the best place to find 121 mirrors. The cases look just like the non swoopy power mirrors. I got them just because they are unique. Not as easy to operate as the power mirrors but you dont have to roll the windows down like the manual mirrors. Lately Ive kind of switched back to liking the dual stock manual mirrors. They arent so big and bulky and have a thinner sleeker look IMO. Once you get the mirrors set up like you like them you hardly ever move the power mirrors anyway.

True, how often do you really need to adjust your mirrors? It's like power seats. I've owned lots of cars with them and, once I have the seat adjusted, I've never had to play with the controls again.

I had a set of those one time!

Ahhhhhhhh

I was looking at these mirrors thinking "whats special or different about them?"

Then I saw where you sourced them from, in Australia where our Festiva's seem to carry more in common with the Euro versions we also have those mirrors as factory equipment. Wow so you guys have to open the window and move the mirror by hand? Or just a different smaller internal adjustment knob?

I find it strange that the US market missed a lot of things we got. It's almost always the other way around. Colour coded bumpers, higher speedo + tacho, those mirrors, 13" wheels not 12" .... Weird... Though you guys have the better rear seat belts, ours interfear with the rear speakers, it was a real mission getting in upgraded speakers on my festiva!

Anyway not having a go it's just interesting to see something I've never looked twice at and just taken for granted
