Not usually a fan of those mirrors, but they blend in nicely on this car ...

How's the visibility? They're convex, right? I'm considering buying some purely for that reason.

They use a blue anti glare wide angle lens.

They are a lot smaller than the factory mirrors but I don't feel like the reduce vision much if at all.

Have a closer look next time we catch up Paul. A Back 2 back comparison would be interesting.

Only just noticed you have offset number plate bracket haha.

Did you buy it from omgpham or fabricate it yourself? I'm looking to make one for myself. So much cleaner to have the plates to the left :)

The visibility is quite good considering. The only downside is the pillar on my passenger side is in the way. Love them though.

The bracket was on the car when I bought it so I have no idea where it came from. Looks great offset.

If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

No more pics yet. The next update involves the ass end and it's halfway done. Can't ruin the surprise :D Besides which I screwed up the vinyl at the back a little so pics will be a rare thing until I sort it out to my high standards.
