changing wing mirrors

Hi as im new to mk1's i have newb question.  :redfaced:
i have an s2 mk1 with the big black wing mirrors, not flags, id like to change to chrome flags but im not sure if the chrome flag mirriors still use the interior mirror adjuster or not? Or do you just adjust them with your hand on the mirror?

thanks  :D

flags dont have any adjustment so you adjust them with your hand then tighten up a nut inside the mirror to stop the mirror moving

if you change to flag mirrors you will have a hole in each door card where the adjuster used to be!

Mirrors

Having trouble PMing you.

Are the big black wing mirrors those elephant ones off a Caddy, and are they for sale?

If they are in good condtion, I would like the passenger side, but both would be better. Any pics would be useful
