    blind spot mirrors??

    who uses ^^? I just want to know how many of you guys sport them on mirrors like the m3's, ACS's, hagus...etc. or if you don't. Also, if you think form over function is the case or vice versa.

    I'm still killing myself on whether or not i should on my ACS mirrors.

    on the m-tech mirrors you can get the euro convex glass, which eliminates the blind spot. i want to do it in the future, just too cheap to buy new glass at the moment.

    Hey rob, do you have PNs for that glass? And how the hell does the glass come out on the M mirrors?

    part number for the drivers side is: 51 16 2 267 191 and runs about $70-75. the passenger side is already convex (only difference between us spec and euro spec is that euro spec has no "objects may appear closer..").

    so does yes mean "they are ugly and i don't like" them or does yes mean "yes i have them" same thing with no. your polo is not clear since you ask the question differently above the poll then in your post

    I always thought they were for older people with boat trailers, but to make a long story short I put a small round blind spot mirror on both left and right mirrors. Now don't get me wrong they aren't the coolest looking little mirrors, but the function of these mirrors when driving are great. I never have to turn my head sideways or pull forward to look. I just glance now. Now I have a hard time driving without. just my 2 cents. I'm interested what other think...

    if you adjust your mirrors correctly, you will not have a blind spot.

    i agree, i ran them on my stock mirrors. they look like shit, but they are very effective. but i can't stick those things on the m-tech mirrors.
