it's a piece of pi** to do..

On the back of the nova mirror there is the roundish moulding that goes through the door which the screws go in to. If you offer it up against the mk1 door you'll be able to see exactly the shape that needs cut with a hacksaw. Once this is done put the mirror flush against the door and mark on the black alloy window trim where you need to cut to make the mirror flush with the door. You only need to trim a very small piece off. Two of the original mk1 mirror mounting holes will line up, the other won't as that's part of the plastic that you've cut away. I put a bit of threadlock on the two screws and it's stayed on fine and is totally secure. You'll need to cut a small hole in the passenger side trim to allow the remote adjuster to come through, the driver's side fits fine. It took me about half an hour and it's well worth it!
