Be interesting to see the price difference between an "Aston Martin" and a "Volvo" Mirror.

Volvo one would probably be more expensive, lol!

According to ebay, supposedly genuine items....

V70 mirrors: US$400/pr
DBS mirrors: US$3995/pr


Mind you, the only difference is the DBS mirror has a little bit of carbon in it.

Real carbon covers for the Volvo mirrors are US$249

Makes me laugh everytime I see a RS200. For some reason I get this picture in my head of a bunch of English gentlemen with shopping trolleys in the "Sierra section" at the Ford factory! It is a whore of a car.
If only the Sierra shared the RS200's power to weight ratio!

was unaware that my commodore shared parts with the c5 vette,
might have to look into getting a chevy badge and grill to proudly display its heritage
