I have small ones on the Westy and enormoose ones on the Scoobyvelle, the latter are fablious.

If you can I would swap unless you like the "less is more" look.

CONVEX ones only ones to buy if sticking with standard mirrors

they work a treat...

DO NOT BUY FLAT ONES... utter pants........

"Syncro" "Truck" ones are a very fair price from VW... (cheaper than some have asked for not very well fitting LT mirrors..)


Maybe a wiki point to add.. CONVEX = good.. Flat = BAD........

The standard mirrors have no sprung return to a set position & I always felt this was poor. Changed them for Defender mirrors, yes it's a diff mounting but they'll go onto the 'flat' (actually slightly convex) of the main door panel & I chose convex glass - heads abt same size as vw orig's. 2 screws (M6?) from i/s of door under quarterlight. Filled in the redundant vw holes. Work very well. Can fold in when parked tight.

You can get new glasses for them for about £4 each although a L-R dealer quoted me £13.40!!!

If you fit a convex to the drivers door you will change your mind... even on the drivers the flat are crap...
