Coupe mirror delete

Did coupes ever come without a passenger door mirror? I can't seem to find any info on the delete parts. Plenty for the 4 doors...

I just never use it and it's too small to be effective so I figured I'd just get rid of it. Visibility is quite good so it really isn't needed.

I might keep it if I could find a convex glass for it...

I bet you can get convex mirror for it at a glass specialty business.

The 1980 300SD w116 I have only has a Drivers mirror. There is a chrome plate on the inside and outside where the passenger mirror should be.

I wasn't able to remove the cover, I can tell you the inside one is chrome plastic, and is identical to the drivers side.

On the 123 coupe the angle on the triangle is different. The outside mirrors are unique to the coupe too.

My 1980 300cd does not have a passenger side mirror - there is a little triangle plate. I also used to have a 240d with no passenger mirror - did not realize there was a difference as T Walgamuth pointed out - that is good to know.

Exactly, that's why I didn't know if a delete kit even existed but it sounds like one does according to cfh. Good to know. I'll keep looking then.

I wouldn't say it is a "delete kit". The mirror was an option, at least in early years. So having no mirror is standard, though I rarely see a car without one. My 1980 coupe did not have a right mirror.
