Wide Angle Mirrors - Second Round

[BO55 VXR]

Well, after a very possitive response to the first batch, Jagsy and I have decided to do a second run at this... The cost of the first batch (of 20) was £25 + £2.50 p&p and I dont expect that to change much but currency fluctuations and possible lower numbers may increase that marginally - but just ask around, they are the dog's doodahs.

So, if you want one, put your name down

Travelled up from Silverstone to Scrabster (North coast of Scotland) without a "where the f*** did he come from??!!" moment at all. They are indeed the dogs doodahs!!

I wouldnt go as far as saying they are the dog's doodahs, but they are definitately the danglies.

[fireblade2000uk]

Yes please, tired of having to twist my neck when changing lanes!

[lubaz]

[willisit]

[baz7175]

Yup, add me to the list

[BigNige]

Yes please Chris...finally starting to get fed up with constant "lifesavers"

My VXR arrives tomorrow. As you can imagine I'm more than a little bit excited. Just a couple of questions about these mirrors. Do I need them? And are they easy to fit for someone with the mechanical aptitude of a rhino?

Congrats! I remember that excitement, it still hasn't died down after almost a year

IMHO yes you do, the standard fit drivers side mirror is complete crap and this gets rid of any blindspot.

As for easy to fit, you will need to ask B055, I think he fitted most of them! All that you need is a screwdriver and a lot of bottle to pull off the old one.

I'm just as excited as you, Halle, because tomorrow I pick up my steroid-enhanced car...

The problem with the current driver's mirror is that it is totally flat, with no blind spot eliminator...which is a problem because the Monaro has a blind spot the size of Western Australia...you can loose an big-rig truck in it (not that one will have a chance to pass you).

The new mirror is convex (or concave, never work out which way) but it gives a much wider angle and, completely eliminates the blind spot.

As for fitting, well, most people at Silverstone did wince a bit when I dived in with the screwdriver but having done 10 of them it does become fairly second nature...You have to be a little bit bruttle to unclip the mirror from the backing plate.

And for £25... Best (non-performance) upgrade by far.

Where are you based, I could provide a fitting service for you if local (south-east)

[SS HSV]

Yes please, count me in

BO55VXR Thanks for the swift response. Count me in for a set. I live and work in Germany as I am in the Army. Post and packing should still cost the same as I have a BFPO address. As for fitting I'll have a look myself and if I think that I'll make a mess then I'll let you know when I'm next back in the UK. Cheers.

[Swordfishcoupe]

Hi Mate,

Please could you put me down for one also.

Cheers
Steven

I do not know if it will fit... There's obviously a few spare (flat) mirrors floating around it you want to try first... Is there anyone in your area that has the new mirror that could help?

[doleboy]

Yep. I'll have one too.

Cheers.

[BO55 VXR]

OK, so we have the 10... Gonna keep this going until next w/end then close the list.

Jagsy, are you watching this?

[v2hsv]

Boss,

I'll have one for my Missus Monaro

Cheers

Eric

PM with address etc sent

Jags, how are you, Lynne and Dan getting on in sunny Oz...?
