I cheaped out,
and got British mirrors from Moss a few years ago,
after both of mine fell off on a rather spirited drive.
They look OK, come with convex glass if you want, and will mount in the
existing holes (if you enlarge 'em just a bit) so that, if you have a fit of
originality, the Nissan mirrors can be refitted.
Personally, I don't really need the mirrors that much- you can hear where most
of your fellow lunatics are...
