Aardvark does sell a decent mirror and I have the entire Talbot set-up. The best $400 of car jewelry I ever bought (sarcasm alert). But since the mount is fixed to the fender, even better quality convex glass doesn't change the fact that you're staring at your left rear fender/tire.
You want originality AND visibility? Then prepare to glance over your left shoulder.  |

Of course.  I'll reassemble it this weekend and take a few pics of the process. Now, what I had on the car was the typical knock-off of a quality mirror -- it looked fine from the outside, but the inside has cheap parts. When I took it off, by removing the big screw in the back that holds the swiveling bracket to the main housing, instead of having a spring and cork, like the nice jobs have, it just had some foam blocks in there. Of course, the mirror is just a simple, plain mirror over which I had stuck the cheapo convex plastic mirror. It looked fine, in fact you'd never notice it, but it was too convex for my liking. I'll try and post a pic of how light passes through this new fancy German mirror. It's very, very cool. |

Uhh, tell the truth now Chas, have you ever seen a mirror like that before? You gotta admit it's pretty cool.

Yes it is and a good find by you. But you've also never seen one like mine before.
Nice that you posted something to help some guys for a change...

Patrick, what's really cool about the pic of the mirror is whatever is reflected in the mirror appears like a nice glass of German beer.
