Yeah the mirrors are good, they're from scooterparts4you who offer 5% discount to users of this forum Click Here
They look much better than the tennis bat standard ones, but dont give as good a rear view although it is good enough... _________________

By the way tinting looks very good ! was the spray easy to apply or was it a bit runny , i would like to try this also and maybe even the screen .
your darksider sticker is that a standard issue when you join the club or something you had made up, whatever , your scoot looks smart , hope mine ends up as good , Tnx Jim |

Looks great, and I'd love to do it to my vintage red GTS. But how much does it affect the brightness of the lights?
