i everyone,my name is john & im a new member. i've just purchased a lotus exige with performance pack & i pick the car up on march first. having never owned a car with no rear view mirror can anyone advise me if reversing sensors or rear view cameras are a option,if any members have had them fitted, indeed are they effective? if so who fitted them & costs etc. or indeed will i get used to only having side mirrors.

welcome.

as much as i want to have a joke at your expense... it's a very good point!

Tony hetherington will be here in a moment to tell you what life's like with an exigeS..

i'd have thought just using your mirrors will be okay..it's not a daily driver is it?

no different to driving a van?

You should be okay with just your mirrors, I can reverse mine in to my parking space without rear view mirror if needs by and get out again (it's a 3 point manoeuvre, involving reversing towards a fence post) - As long as they are properly adjusted.

[edit]Should add, that I'm on about in an R - but it's not unusual for it to be completely steamed up and useless in a morning.
