I like the short brake pipe on the rear subframe,more room for a mistake rather than the short one.

These are just a pair of classic aftermarket mirrors. I bought them on ebay. They are not specified for a special car, so they don't seem to be rare. But I don't know the manufacturer, sorry.

@ rich
the ex rear pocket area is already coveres with a matching carpet.

Now my previous focus is on the engine bay
