My Spit (FM 78063 UO) came w/ a black mirror. It was in poor shape when I got
the car (with less than 30K miles) and has been replaced and a matching pass
door mirror added. My only complaint is that the pass door mirror I bought (I
think from V-B) is a flat mirror, vice convex. Also, the small plastic
mounting blocks all broke, so I replaced them w/ machined aluminum blocks.
Still have those drawings somewhere, if anyone's looking.....
