    Default VS Wing Mirror

    Hey Ive noticed that the wing mirrors on my VS Berlina give you very little vision of your surroundings. I know that on newer model cars they have mirrors that are curved to reduce blind spots and to give the driver better vision. I want to replace just the reflective part of the mirror with a curved one. Is there anyway that I could change just the mirror in the two wing mirrors without changing the whole mirror thing? Where would I get the mirror from if so?

    Cheers
    Chris

    The passenger one is curved already to allow wider field of vision so maybe you could fit one although I don't think they interchange side to side...but check that first. Other than that I'd doubt what you want is available.

    My missus' Kia Rio has these convex mirrors both sides...they are absolute crap! It really is hard to judge just how close objects in the mirror are as they appear to be far away, then when you see them in the interior rear-vision mirror, they are much closer. Quite dangerous in my opinion.
    Doesn't answer your question sorry, just some friendly advice.

    the passenger side mirror is already already like that, thats why it says 'objects are closer than they appear' (or something like that).
