i would go for the convex swivel one, provided they are allowed. This should allow a wide field of view, plus adjustability to see any markers.

Halfords have a nifty dash monted sticky taped on kind of mirror for under a tenner.
It is convex for wide field of view and moveable for fine adjustments. And only a tenner ! or did I say that already ?

Not so sure about the stick on mirror though. No windscreen.. it's going to fall off !!!! or fly off whilst driving at high speed.

I bought one of these - but had a long - 4"- stem with it. I bought CF, but the black plastic would be fine. I wouldn't bother with convex -
as it is the field of vision is straight through the two high back seats - if it was convex then I'd be looking at myself (not a good idea).
You can see it on my avatar.
Great mirror - I don't bother much with the wing mirrors its so good:

Ai Caramba!
£75 - £125 for one mirror! Plus all the trimmings, I presume (VAT + P&P)?
Methinks I'll not bother...

Does look nice Jasper, £70+ for a mirror is steep but like you say I have no intention of buying a windscreen.

I have no windscreen and the thing manages to stay on fine. I will take a piccy next time i am near the garage and post it up.
I have posted 3 piccys of the mirror in my photo archive.

£70 would have been steep - the carbon fibre one I went for was LOTS more!

Ok lads next time we have a get together you keep Jasper occupied whilst I unbolt his mirror.
7 out of 10 people suffer with hemorrhoids. Does that mean the other 3 enjoy them?
