I agree with you, my vision is to try to visually save that line by mounting a Californian up about 1.3 inch from the bottom, on the glass. The tape I plan to use is the same as emblems on newer cars, and can be removed with dental floss (really!)
But what do you think of those small mirrors on the waverunner? They are more Italian looking than a lot of Italian mirrors I have seen.
we'll see how the visuals work out. I just got done with 1 month in the paint shop to fix 6 tiny mirror holes, so my drill is staying in the cabinet for a while.

I have a 1963 Italia Omega that has holes for mirrors and was looking for attractive mirrors. I found many candidates at a motorcycle merchandise shop similar to the waverunner types. You might check there. I would not under any circumstances put anything on the window glass regardless of ease of removal. In fact I prefer the mangusta with NO MIRRORS AT ALL,just as yours is now. I would have removed the mirrors and filled the holes and repainted on 1256 but decided to just go with the new mirrors for now. I have 1 Mangusta (1126) with no mirrors/holes and love it.I dont mind using the interior rear view mirror plus physically turning and looking as I do that anyway .Of course if the beurocrats require it that is another story. In AZ they dont. Jerry
