More Citroen DS de-jalopification

Today I spent more time doing small improvements to the Citroen DS.   The car originally had single side mirror on the drivers side that I think was for a later car.   This mirror was never able to stay in the right spot and would always fall back against the car over 70km/h despite how tight it was.    I also wanted to get a mirror for the passengers side as I park this car against the wall on that side and it can be quite handy in Sydney traffic.    I had previously made a template for where the hole needed to be drilled on the passengers side and drilled the hole, but today I installed the mirror in the car.   The new chrome mirrors look great.

As well as the mirrors, I had bought some clips to re-attach the trim above the rear window.   The headlining and this trim are not perfect, but they are good enough for now.   Unfortunately I am missing the DS rear lights that are supposed to be there, and I still have not been able to find a set.

Finally I spent some time polishing the trims around the C pillar.   They were terribly oxidized, but after a few hours with the Autosol metal polish they are looking much better.
