| Post subject: | Ami 6 wing mirrors / DS wing mirrors |
hello there does anyone happen to know if DS & Ami 6 wing mirrors are one of the same? i don't know much about DS's but i'm talking about 1970's models. i know Ami used the steering wheels and inner door handles but what about the wing mirrors? any advice gratefully received. Cheers Will |

Dunno about Ami 6, but Ami 8 mirrors are very similar to DS, although not _quite_ identical. D mirrors can certainly be used, though - and have been on a certain green Super... Dunno if they fit - probably - but SM mirrors could be cool on an Ami...

cheers for that... best thing to do is pull up to a DS and compare i guess - or just trawl the net.. at the moment i've got the factory one on the N/S and a weird "english looking" round one O/S - looks silly.... the SM rear always reminds me of the pink panther car bye for now |

The D's mirror is not the same as the AMI6. That doesnt mean you cant' use one, I think. But the D dont have this kind of mounting: AMI6:

I had DS mirrors on the Ami8 when I had it, but they were a different fitting altogether. Come to think of it, it may have been an aftermarket mirror taken from a scrap DS23, and not a Citroen part at all. Which makes this advice pretty useless. Sorry. |

I have 3 D's, and none of them has a mirror like the one on my AMI6 picture. The D's are missing the "inner" support. And they doesnt look the same. But as I said, if the hole in the doorskin is big enough, you should be able to use a D-mirror. If the hole is to small you can widen it, asuming there is room for the nut. But if you do that, you cant go back to original, so..... |
