Recommend me a set of side mirrors
I have really crap side mirrors. No matter how tight I horse the nut up on them, the just flop about after 10 mins. They are this type
here
Please can someone recommend me a set of mirrors that will allow me to consistently see behind me, opposed to my current views of wheel arch, road,
panels etc. Must be a) sturdy and b) not look crap. Ta.

I found that good motorcycle dealers have a great selection of mirrors.

Fit any that fix with two screws/bolts to the body.
The ones in AntonUK's post for instance.
I have big bullet mirrors, but that's because I'm very old and remember the sports cars of the 60's.

Bear in mind though that unless you can see the repeater from the required angle from the back of the car (with the mirror in the correct position)
they will fail IVA - that's if you haven't IVA'ed it yet!

I used CBR 600 F2 or F3 mirrors which look pretty good and don't cost a shed load...
Cheers, Pewe10

I bought a pair of spa formula mirrors. Not cheap at about £70/pair but they are very good.

Thanks all. Cbr 600 type would seem the way to go, 2 bolts and plenty cheapness on ebay.
Got the longacre rearview mirror, is very good, sort of compensates for current absence of side mirrors. Only miss those on rare stints on motorway.
