    Driver's Mirror (external)

    Having restricted vision in my right eye after a medical episode, I was wondering if it is possible to replace the flat driver's side mirror glass with a euro or american convex glass panel to give that bit more right hand side rearward vision without impinging on any ADR's or having to go to the additional expense of fitting a larger mirror assembly (if one is available for a Disco 2)
    Has anyone tried this?

    Cheers Bruce

    I reckon a Euro or NAD spec would have what you are after.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    I'd love a pair of them, but couldn't find any when I googled.

    Yeah, but where can I get those wide angle mirrors?

    Thanks for all of your ideas, might try the cheapest option first ,which be an additional add on mirror as per Gavin's idea, if not ideal, will then try the Euro glass replacement
    Will keep you posted on developments
    Cheers. Bruce

    I'm also reluctant to hand over my bank details to some random Chinese business that may, or may not be, less than honest.

    I can’t speak for the mirror itself but if the website is to be believed then it’s coming from a Sydney mob who make and install dual control systems for driving school cars.
