Mirrors?

Has anyone put mirrors on the corner of the window frame? I think i'll weld a plate on the outside of the window frame pillar and down to the door skin. Anyone else done this before?

I have thought about how it might look, figured it might be neat to use a set from an FC. Only fly in the ointment might be the size, I'm not sure if you can cut down a stock window or not.

Or you could just leave the Zip-ties on!

hahaha i'll cut them off first. If you have a look in the second photo, with a 2mm plate welded to the window frame and door skin...it should leave me 4mm-5mm before the window glass. I was going to weld the plate on, counter sink the holes and screw the mirror onto the plate with flat head allen bolts. It should all attach on the outside of the window, so i wont have to touch the originall glass at all...i hope!

Couldn't you leave the windows in place, and weld a plate above where the windows are in stock position? Like over where they come out of? I was thinking of something like that but would rather have fender mirrors instead
