Why use plates?
Base plates fit in-between the mirrors and the car. They enable these mirrors to fit straight on. The mirrors are the same regardless of the car they are being fitted to, but the base plates are specially designed for each application.

Choosing the right kit
You can choose just the mirrors (supplied in pairs), but fitting would require a lot of DIY work. The full kit options includes a pair mirrors and base plates which are specifically designed for this car. This is by far the easiest way of fitting these mirrors.

Electric mirror options
Electrically operated versions of this mirror are available as 3 wire or 4 wire. This refers to the number of electrical wires that connect to the mirror. If your original mirrors have 3 wires then order a 3 wire mirror. If your original mirrors have 4 wires then order a 4 wire mirror.
