drill a hole in the base plate for it?

 

[clean16v]

is it that easy though?

Yea thats partially right, if your car is <94 then you will have to modify the mounting for the base plates (just a matter of drilling extra holes in the door frame to extend the ones that are already there) as the one they produce is for the MKII face lift model NOT MKI.

Not a big deal though, i fitted some black M3 style mirrors with Mercedes style indicators yesterday but havent wired them in yet. They look sweet!

so can you only get base plates for the phase 2 then?

 

[Dr G]

Not as far as i could tell but, there are so many different mirrors and companies that stock them that there maybe one that does... didnt investigate that far just went for the ones i liked, got the closest fitting kit and modified them to fit
