Cracked Mirror
I had already fitted my mirrors to the scuttle some weeks ago, when I removed the scuttle to carry on with some more chassis work, I left the mirrors
bolted to it as it was out the way and safe (or so I thought!).
Anyhow my question is, as I've managed to crack the driver side mirror top to bottom about 1 1/2" from the outside edge, will it fail the
IVA?
They ar R1 mirrors which look pretty damn nice and I really don't want to have to get another one as they aren't too cheap 
I can still see in it OK, but there is a slight angle change between the 2 bits either side of the crack.
Thoughts please?

I think that might be a fail; distorted image. If there's an angle change then there's also a small blind spot between the 2 images.

Change it, its got to be cheaper than an IVA restest?

Whether they fail the mirror or not - a poor presentation will not look good to the tester. A broken mirror looks scruffy, which detracts from
appearance of the car you've put so much effort into.
If the car looks as though you've put a lot of effort in then you've already made the tester feel happy - if stuff looks scruffy then
maybe he won't have such a positive attitude. It shouldn't be like that, but we're talking about human beings here.

Cheers chaps. Looks like a change is the way to go. I totally agree that the presentation is half the battle, and you are all right, it's not
worth being tight after all the hours I've put in.
