Yes mate, those mirrors should be good.  Glad you like the aero's, I really like them, so much better than the rusty pins.
Right, yet more updates!
Compliments of Jorge, I received these little bits t'other day:
Notice the thin wires around the centre bores? That'll be why I noticed grooves in the wheels. These are the official OZ spacers for what it's worth...
Anyway, I manged to get the Leggera's cleaned up today, and then went to town on them with Wonder Wheels. You're probably wondering why I'm doing this, as the wheels were going in for a re-furb. Well, the wheels were initially rejected because one of them was apparently twisted. I thought I'd get them on the car to see how they feel first, before I decide to spend much £££ on them! 
The wheels really do need a re-furb, they're not in great condition, but after today, they're a damn site better than they were! 
Here's some pics:
I've no idea what they workshop used to write on the tyres, but it doesn't want to come off.  Then again, the tyres are ones I've never heard of before, and I don't think they are worth much. They're actually virtually brand new, so I'm going to keep the wheels as is for now, and give the rubber some serious canning! 
Here's some pics of them on the car:
So there you go. They're scruffy, but they'll do for now. It's obvious that the front of the car needs lowering now! LOL. The acceleration is awesome. With the smaller total circumference, I've got the S1 final drive working like a charm again, and also the less amount of weight. It's hard to believe that after weighing the car the other day, and getting 785kg with half a tank, the car is now 20kg lighter!! 
That's all for now folks.

Hehe, do you just look at the pics and not read what I write?
They look OK, but obviously rather scrappy due to the condition. I love the colour of the silver, but the colour is not for my car, as silver and silver just looks boring.  Love the colour of yours!!

They do, don't they. I'm keeping the repeaters on for the moment, as I'm curious what they'll look like with the CF intakes and CF mirrors. Ferg seems to think they'll go nicely, and he's a style whore.  Hehe.

Glad you got them fitted
I need to get mine on after seeing these!
You save about 2-3kg per wheel over VTS wheels, 4.9 to 7.5kg so overall a good save.

LOL, look at the way you construced the post, first few paragraphs I read, then came the pics, then there was text after.
I read the first bit, dribbled over the photos then forgot what happened after that! So technically your fault 
Anyhows, read the last bit, thats what I like to hear! Also your rocking mumbojumbonankangoblousiational tyres now hahahaha!
