Default Paddle mirrors on a (C4) Callaway...

Export (breakaway) mirrors were mandated for overseas deliveries

I've seen them, ow wait.. I'm overseas
But there are not that much of them overhere in Holland and even less people keep them on there car. They always remind me of Mickey Mouse... Don't know why

What do you think about the export orange rear center lights. I think those are pretty rare. #010 also has them but then in the aero rear lights, don't know if that is a one off or if there are more of those?

Good question Josh!

If I remember correctly the problem with the export mirrors is that the base where it connects to the door is bigger then the one on the original mirrors. So when you change the mirrors you would see some marking where the export mirrors would have been. But I could be confused with the C3 chrome / sports mirrors...

#10 also has the export rear lights so I think the change is very big that one time it also had the export mirrors..

Groeten Peter

That car is in Holland , owned by Mr Arie.

I tried contacting him for months now to get a photoshoot and interview but he was not on the year openingsmeeting of our Corvette Club this April.
--------
funny to see the car had run-flats and now dymags, where were they swapped , are these wheels somewhere in UK ??

I am looking for these wheels for my future Callaway car
