Whats the visibility like with the winged mirrors and are they flat or convex?
I bought a pair of the bullet mirrors and had to fit one to the car for the MOT. Visibility was appalling so there back in the box to go on Ebay.
I want something with a classic look but with good visibility, anyone have any good recommendations?
I bought one of these for my A352 'D Type' project. It's light enough to mount through the door perspex with an ally backing plate. The nearer it is to the driver the wider the view (convex mirror). I always complement my look in it with a 'life saver' - there are no old bold motorcyclists!
Missed the blue text!
They are exactly what I have bought, very poor rear visibility, they will be going back onto Ebay. Shame because they do look nice.

Hi Jag. They are flat and to be honest the drivers side is pretty good. I am definitely keeping them. I just need to move them back about an inch and a half. Just enough so the quarter light frame isn't right in the middle of the passenger side one.

Sorry for the bad picture it was a zoom in on another pic as its the only one I have of the wingmirrors, but I got these convex ones from eBay, in the standard position they are easily as good as the original mirrors in my opinion. In the forward position shown they're a TINY bit worse but still very very usable. The car is my daily driver and I've never had a problem even reversing etc with them. They are very subtly convex it doesn't distort the view, just widens it somewhat.
