Sorry to be slow but i have a VXR8 with the magnified drivers mirror...i take it the wide angle mirror will make it more like a "normal" mirror? And is it easy to change the mirrors over? (any links to help on this much appreciated).

I'll await the replies before i say i want one.

i would say you already have one then. but can VXR8 owners comment please. (i have a monaro)

The wide angle mirror imported from the USA will get rid of the Zoom effect we are currently stuck with here in the UK

Thats as much as I know im afraid.

The standard mirror is not magnified, it's flat. We are trying to order a convex one (like the passenger one is). That's my take on it.

I dont know what everyone else has but my drivers side mirror makes everything look alot closer than it really is.

I'd like a mirror please - presumably they will say 'Objects in Mirror Are Closer Than They Appear'.

Monaro or VXR8???

im not sure aobut the writing.

[the_ferret82]

thread updated please read first page....

[Magic919]

The Monaro ones (Pontiac GTO) have the writing. I'd expect the Pontiac G8 ones to be the same. It's USA after all. These days it might even say that objects in the mirror are back to front.

A VXR8 mirror please.

Just let me know details on funds etc and will get those sorted for you.

Just some clarification:

Is the UK passeger's mirror curved - I haven't noticed?!

Is the mirror easy to change/replace?

Can these repalcements be fitted to both driver's and passenger sides?

Lastly, would you like some money up-front; good faith etc?

Cheers, Steve

yes it is...

a gentle but forceful prise required (according to the FAQ's

Can these repalcements be fitted to both driver's and passenger sides?
only drivers side as passenger is already curved

Lastly, would you like some money up-front; good faith etc?
i trust the forum and the people on it so money up front not needed. plus wont know final price until order is placed. (dont expect them to change unless we doubble our numbers by Sat...)

Cheers, Steve

Excellent and a bit of a bargain for the VXR8 at least.
