Go4it1011 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi there.Need to replace the original Caterham rear view mirror on my car and wanted to be advised on the best wide angle to go for. I'm not too keen on the ones I've seen that clip over the existing mirror. Any help would be appreciated.CheersDennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7 wonders of the world Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Is your old one trashed?I have one looking for a home if it helps you, I find its best to fit it upside down at the bottom of the screen offset to the left by a couple of inches, you still get great rearward veiw but your forward vision is unobscured.

Go4it1011 Posted September 22, 2015 Author Share Posted September 22, 2015 Thanks for the replyThe mirror is the original which is less than 3 years old and has lost about a half inch of reflective material at the bottom of the mirror. I am looking for a wider angle mirror for road use and want some advice on which model/brand to go for.Regards Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elie boone Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 these claim to have a wider view and do look good and are cheap for the pair, you can mount them on the door or on the stanchion http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Race-Car-Mirrors-Black-billet-aluminium-immediate-dispatch-/271983401303?fits=Car+Make%3ACaterham&hash=item3f53795957 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted September 23, 2015 Area Representative Share Posted September 23, 2015 Plenty to choose from at Car Builder SolutionsI opted for Billet Mirror (MINTBIL) because it has a double joint and means it car be raised high so as not to obstruct my forward view. It's quite heavy and needs to be fitted with 2 part glue, but I found it better than original as it is slightly wider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
