It is a 30 metre x 2.8 metre corridor between stored equipment and racking before I get to the 20 metres of space where I can store my stuff.

I can back well with flat mirrors and don't need the extension mirrors or a front ball, all I want is flat mirrors on my D4.

It used to be illegal to install convex mirrors on the drivers side of a vehicle. Why was that changed?

Actually I don't think they are convex, but are telescopic and work more like a telephoto lense, so each mirror has a different position of the lense.

(IE)

Incab rearview mirror is normal (or further away)

Drivers mirror is closer (or further away)

Passenger mirror is closer again (or further away)

Like most things, it's something you need to adapt too or change the glass, as mentioned above by DC.

you don't even need to change the glass. Just stick a new mirror over the top of the existing one with some double sided tape (a heat gun should allow you to heat the adhesive and separate them at a later point). You could stick one of those small convex mirrors to the flat glass so you can see your blind spots.
