Cant say i've seen them before,look very similar to englemanns probably a cheap copy i would imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shug Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Not seen them in the plastic as it were, but I understand these are what you go for if you cant afford engelmanns and dont mind cheap plastic and poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny D114BCW Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 They are good copies seen two mantas with these on and well priced for what you get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rutts Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 not too bad a copy i bought some a while ago, even though they where slagged off you get what you pay for. englemanns are cheap as chips if you go to netherlands auto jumbles i saw loads last year at dronton show in various conditions.

mantasrme Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I run them on my rally car and yes they feel cheaper than genuine Englemanns but thats because they are. But i won't get as upset if i knock one off 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Barrett Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 got a set in a box from a few years ago, also had real ones, yes poorer quality but look the same and a good replacement imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZYDAVE Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 Good stuff i have a genuine set on my car but was just curious how good (or bad) these ones were Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lepo5 Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 (edited) You get what you pay for, as I only deal in Genuine Engelmann mirrors the difference in quality is like night and day I will not entertain the cheap Chinese copies and spend a good bit of time and effort sourcing the real thing, and I get a lot of enquiries espescially for the mounting blocks for the cheap Chinese tat as they are so brittle, that's why they are dropping off of the cars! mind you sometimes I wonder why I bother when you get statements like the one below! I reckon Englemans are way over priced for what they actually are this seems to be compounded by the fact that certain people buy them up at a reasonable price only to bump up the price and sell them on to fellow clubs members at a profit !! foul play if you ask me after all isnt being a member of the club suppose to help locate these rare parts not get ripped off by some 'make a quick buck middle man' ??? D********** let us know how you get on with these pattern part mirrors as im keen to find a cheaper way of having englemans too In reply to that comment above, I don' t see him sourcing any mirrors parts or anything else for that matter! Also before buying the Chinese tat check the neutral and negative feedback ratings people have left regarding them then see if your still keen to part with the cash Edited January 15, 2013 by lepo5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
