   id say DTM ones but all after market mirrors only look good on a saxo if there car is some what modded i.e different bumper rear splitter etc etc.
   
   if your saxo is standard keep standard ones on or fully colour code them.
   
   OR
   
   buy either of those mirrors keep them away for a bit till you get more things done to your saxo .
   
   
   at the end of the day its what you prefer so upto you.

   106 gti mirrors are brilliant
   
   Be careful with some of the aftermarket ones as quite often the base plates can be pretty poorly made and give a crap seal which when raining or washing your car can allow water to pi** into your car and soak underneath the carpets.
   
   Speaking from past experience here, the EVO style ones were crap for the above reason even though they looked ok

   Im not a fan of either of them i would stay with the standard ones or evo style ones.The base plates are all the same with the m3,dtm and evo mirrors so it wont leak just down to the style of the mirror it will be because of a poorly made base plate willsy.

   out of those none, there both gash
   
   standard ones with colour coded cap or gti mirrors are the way forward

    i agree with gayboy jeeves on this one, 106 mirrors with the caps sprayed to match your car are the best imo...
