    Dunno if I am getting old but I find little mirrors as much use as a chocolate teapot. I have had Irmscher mirrors on the 888 since I bought it in 2005 and not been bothered by them. This year when I drove it I found them rather annoying as I could see 'F' all out of them! Standard mirrors going back on next year.
    Also thought it would be a good idea to remove the passenger mirror on the Swing, I have now lost the ability to park the bloody thing on my drive

    Anyway they look nice but they are totally impractical I presume. Might want to get some of them caravan extending mirrors so you can see what is behind you

    Nothing really practical about my Nova anyway so dumpy mirrors make little or no difference to the driving experience

    Another trick addition for a car already stacked with them! Id say they were a definate improvement on the previous mirrors Martin as novas tend to suit the standardish look etc. Visability wise I bet they are probably better too? Either way I hope your happy with them and I look forward to seeing the car again next year.

    Nick.

    Can you actually see anything in those mirrors!?

    They look a bit silly imo and dont really suit the car (I cant see what 'type' of nova they would suit tbh).

    You dont know until you try though I guess!
