Hello!
I'm the new proud owner of a beautiful 1971 Karmann Ghia convertible and have a question about external mirrors.
The driver and passenger side mirrors on my Ghia are different, both in finish and style. The driver side has a dull brushed metal finish while the passenger side is chrome. The backside of the driver side is flatter (thinner) while the passenger side is more rounded. The passenger side has a hole at the bottom to let moisture out while the driver side doesn't. The only thing the same is both mirrors have the same outer shape.
My question is, which is the original stock mirror? If the answer is "both", why are they different styles and finishes?
I'm thinking about replacing the driver side mirror to match the more attractive style and finish (IMHO) of the passenger side. However, I want to keep the vehicle as stock as possible.
All comments welcome.
Thanks, Han
