That sounds very fine Julian - could you feed us a couple of pics for 
inspiration please?
Thanks

   Mike,

   You are correct that the joint does not have sufficient movement to
   bend the mirror a full 90 degrees if mounted on the door top. The Baby
   turbos have a fixed mirror so all the movement is in the housing. With
   the Vitaloni Californian's it is possible to take a Dremel to the joint
   and get additional angle in the mirror required for the passenger side.
   I have not tried such a modification or know whether it is possible
   with the design of the Baby Turbo, by even if so I think those mirrors
   look like crap bent at 90 degrees.

   I mounted my Baby turbos on a pie shaped piece of steel and it is
   pushed down behind the gasket in the quarter window, this holds them
   perfectly in place, loses no discernible visibility and involves no
   gluing so can be removed easily if so required.

   Pegasus has the Vitaloni Baby Turbo mirrors, but if I recall correctly,
   these only have one joint rather than two, making it difficult to
   impossible
   to mount it to the top of the door and bend it 90 degrees.  I don't
   want to
   mount it to the side of the door, that always looked odd, and I don't
   want
   to have to hang it through the glass of the wing window.

   The Baby Tornados, also on their site, look very much like what I have
   now,
   but I've always liked the Turbos more.

   Thanks
