No, all you will do is make the rust come through even quicker, plus it will look like a 1970's Marina!
That wheel is horrendous, like something from Mad Max, buy the GTi Engineering one I have for sale!

i know, it is appalling, but that's why i like it. and yes, the mirrors will look very 70s, but it is a 70s car

Indeed a 70's car but one with a touch of class, keep the mirror (not a Storm I presume so only the 1) where it is, much better!

We've discussed this and we will have no alternative to banning you for such appalling taste.
Lots of love from the grotto.
Having said that, it would probably improve the interior of a white scala? Ian ???????
Peace.

It does have 2 mirrors, but they're too far back down the doors for my liking.

You'd get away with these on a race prepared Mk1 :)

Do you have gadget arms to adjust them?

Mirrors on my truck are nearly 8 foot away from the drivers seat, and I manage to move them ok when I need to

We run those on the race Mk1 golf that I spanner on, because it ran them back in the day when it was in the Tricentrol saloons. They weren't cheap to get hold of though.
Mounted on the doors...
