I think they have some on their Instagram account

Friend (@motorebel) has the other, square-base version.
it was from the MK1 production run, good quality, though base sitting on OEM dorr bores was a bit off. They corrected that on the MK2 production run I was told

Looks better with base/stem painted in my opinion.

I don't know the story on this one, but looks like they did away with the larger base.

Which model are you considering?

Would a Pasha or checkered Mini-like mirror look good on a Porsche 911?

Can get a matching outfit.

Can a cheap mirror be modified to the existing flag mirror base?

bullet mirror - Achtungkraft

I want to try these so bad but just not sure about the look on an impact bumper car. The targa with stripes isn’t helping. The flags looks terrible but I can’t see my car without them...

Not the greatest photo, but I am pleased with the mirrors.

What's the diameter?

Can you see anything out of them?

Looks nice on your car in my opinion.

Same question, love the look but are you able to see much behind you with them? If the visibility is decent or at least minimally functional, I may have to put these on mine.....

The PO had installed a drivers side flag mirror on my ‘74. Rearward vision is terrific but the big bulky look turned me off. There’s no easy solution to covering the holes in the door. Along came the Achtungkraft guys and made it easy.
I bought both sides for my ‘74 in satin SS and couldn’t be happier. The base fits the holes in the doors better than the Flags ever did. They’re streamline and the vision is good, even with the original convex glass. They may have gone with a bit less convex-ness in the newer runs.
They arrived in a velvet bag and are beautifully made. I’d buy them again in a heart beat. Early on,
I also had difficulty getting an answer to an email inquiry sent through their web site. When I posted as such, Bryan posted his email address and communication was no longer an issue. When the air box lid was designed, Bryan copied a graphic, from my ax helmet, and had it lazar cut and applied to the cis cover.
Anyone having problems getting info should email Bryan directly at: bryan@auchtungkraft.com
No affiliation with the sellers, just a very pleased customer.

And the CIS cover and window winders. (Green dot was my own addition)

Car is at paint shop so I can not measure , but definitely minimally functional (I like that term). They are smaller than flag and are convex so gives a different perspective. I accept the trade off of function for the style.

you'll are crazy. Nothing looks better than chrome flags on 74-89 cars. These little mirrors sacrifice a lot in visibility to make the car look older and more italian.
