My votes leave 'em off & employ the motorbike lifesaver checks when driving. Nice clean lines. Don't bullet mirror owners moan that they are useless for actually doing the job intended? :rolleyes:

Real one here. Bar-steward to restore monkey metal and the bit that holds the mirror is alloy.

you cant see down the side of the car properly without wing mirrors - might be just my 1,000s of miles of van driving makes me hate it too much.
