The only other mirror which I thought worked(ish) with lines of the 'S' was off the Daewoo Matiz Powered options also available.

Those Fezza mirrors look like larger versions of the S1's "Bunny ears" which TBH were pretty useless because they sit too low down on the doors at the wrong angle to give decent rear visibility. I don't think a slightly bigger version would be much of an improvement. frown
I agree with Joe that TVR got it right with the CX mirrors, their positioning is brilliant, just a pity they are getting so scarce and expensive.
The Mazda MX-5, Mitsubishi Charisma, VW Corrado all suit the S.
Love those Corvette ones, Joe thumbup but I imagine they might be in rather short supply.

Depends how much you want to pay. Why THIS ONE is seven times as much as THIS ONE beats me but I suppose it's all down to availability. Anyway, there's a pair there at a price.

I'd love to see them on an 'S' though to see if they work.

Corrado looks like a good compromise.

I suppose mirrors are like wheels in that they are such a personal choice.

Re the 'vette mirror, I think it would be a struggle to get the mechanical remote adjuster cable around the S's dummy quarterlight/ window track frame in the door void.
Same goes for any manual mirror I suppose.

Yeah, but then the door glass would be all over the place when you raise it! wink

Fiat 500 mirrors also look like they might fit nicely
