What side mirrors are these?

Ok, these are defo s2 curve mirrors, they did a few types of supras, check the yellow one, lines are spot on

 

Sorry but your still wrong.

 

The yellow one is actually the Abflug racer (and not S2 )which was a mix of several designs and those mirrors are the same as the OP's.

 

The blue S2 however which is more Veilside than anything has completely different door mirrors as can clearly be seen as the base is a totally different shape and the mirror housing is taller.

 

Could the ones trying to be identified be an early Ganador design perhaps as they are closer ?

Matt you're right,

When i remove one of the side mirrors i might damage some paintwork, i will have to wait then for getting a clue or an answer. Well if one of the side mirrors will be removed and i will find or a brand name or a clue i will share the information found on the mirror. Thanks

You shouldn't damage any paint mate, you just remove the doorcard then remove the 2 wing mirror bolts and hey presto, wing mirror is free to look at the base;)

Mario,

 

Like marc said, it's a piece of cake. If you manage to damage anything taking them off, then you're not safe to be out in public! :D

No it wasnt, s2 were offering that kit years ago mate, even in mags, there were 3, s2 curve supras, and those 3 kits were available from s2...and thats why it wears a 'Curve' logo on the windscreen. ;)

Look at the blue one again, very different, its got abflug plates becuase it uses a abflug bootlid, and it wears a work plate because it has work wheels...

Hes been searching hard:D

 

Probaply and i want to say that i appreciate that absolutely:),

i've got the supra since august/september 2009 and have been searching all year long, with no result, but in your earlier post you told that you think that they're be s2 curve side mirrors right,

when i get back home again i will ask a friend of mine who is real familiar with supras if he can get one side mirror of and have a look on the mounting plates as Matt said before, any information on the plates i will share and post.

At the moment my supra is at the garage waiting for a 6-speed conversion, in mean time we started getting the car back in her original state, but about the side mirrors,

These are glued onto the doors, really a shame so they couldn't be checked on the mounting plate,

 

But as i'm going back to stock, it will take me a little bit more time to get a set of nice stock ones, before i ask my mechanic to get them off, beceause they're glued and i'm not willing to damage the paint.
