Thanks, do no see a problem running with no side screens, did it for many years in a Morgan and in a previous Caterham life.

Glad that others found the style of mirror acceptable- will check out the Holden bullet style.

Im also looking around for a nice pair of chrome wing mirrors, but for a brooklands aeroscreen, if anyone likes to advise what they use. As for driving without doors, it certainly adds to the back to basics experience. I dont mind it on short trips but if planning on anything a bit more than an hour or so, stick the doors on!

I've been pondering this exact issue for a while myself over recent months. Been pondering the full Brookland style aero-screen option too but settled on this for now.......

Finally got around to fitting some pre-loved aluminum bullet-style mirrors that I stumbled across on Ebay. 

Only managed a quick test drive so far and after 22+ years of driving with the doors on, I can confirm it's a very liberating experience. I might have a different word to describe it when I get to have a proper journey....

I'll attempt to post a photo of the end result tomorrow.

Had to make a small bracket from a piece of aluminum that bolts on to the inside of the stanchion using the 2 bolts from lower door fitting. Luckily the mirror had a single bolt that just fits behind the stanchion (So keeps everything else untouched). Easy to unbolt and refit the doors again if I need/want to.
