   i have them, i think they look ok. but lots of people prefer standard ones with mirror caps. but what you think looks good, stick with.

   i used to have a set of chrome ones, they were off within a month lol, standards look so much better and you can operate them inside the door instead of using your finger to push the glass lol

    they suit bmw m3's.
    
    also chances are the baseplates will be a crap fit and imo they look slightly too big for the saxo.

    Could you paint the standard ones or would it look bad?

    i'm thinkin M3 mirrors too, purely because i can't find mirror caps anywhere! dont get DTM's whatever u do... cant see anything out of em... my mate had them, in the end swapped them for M3 chrome ones

    the ones i got were from www.essexracing.com
    it just says that they were black m3 mirrors
    only cost me £25 so cant complain really
    might swap to the EVO VI set though

    I have been lookign at the M3 mirrors for some time, sometimes i love their look sometimesio hate it. But after seeing these Evo VI's i would go for them personally
