Should I keep or should I change?

I have one of these vitaloni side mirros, I can't decide whether I should keep it or change it out for other ones? What are your thoughts? Replacement one is $25, but I feel like they're a bit small and there could be more stylish ones for the taking.

Personal choice. Find the one that you like and run with it. You will find, however, 99% of the mirrors won't "see" over the car's hips. Mirrors on longer stalks are always the better option. And... one the canopy is closed, you won't be able to adjust manual mirrors unless your windows are removed.

I did a cursory search and didn't see any universal power motors. Has anyone done a retrofit from another car?

I use to have Vitaloni Mirrors, they looked the part but wobbled and vibrated like crazy making it hard to see. Eventually I bite the bullet and made custom mounts to powered mirrors which see over the rear arches, it made such a difference to visibility.

I tried those, not impressed and changed for the turbo. I used to have Datsun Z240 powered ones which went with the car's lines nicely but for some stupid reason I ripped out and fitted the Italian jobs which I then scrapped.

I found them on ebay and am also unimpressed by the wobbling and the contant moving. Going to ditch them at my earliest convenience as well.

I'd love to know more about your power mirror install! Did you do a thread or anything? Where did you get yours from?
