• minimizes the need for additional painting after installation,
• makes it easier to maintain a uniform paint surface across the entire body,
• allows for an aesthetic replacement of a damaged mirror without interfering with other body elements.

As a result, the mirror serves as a functional and visually coherent addition to the side of the vehicle.

• stable mounting that limits vibrations at higher speeds.
