Overtaking mirror recommendations

Post by DevonAid »

Morning all.
Our standard T25 wing mirrors (Devon RHD) have always been a bit lacking, with overtaking blind spots etc.
Any recommendations for add-on, stick in, clip-on or alternative glass for our mirrors that offer a better, wider rear view that members have been pleased with?
Seems to be a lot of options out there, so feedback appreciated.
Thanks!

I've seen some Land-rover mirrors with that built in.

We have standard LR ones and they give good coverage.

I'll second that. Best upgrade ever. You can fold in but still keep correct mirror angle.

Ive stuck some smaller wide angled smaller mirrors within the existing ones, not perfect and do drop off if not fixed on with additional adhesive. But the landriver option is good, if available.

Thanks all, great tips, much appreciated.
Do the Land Rover mirrors fit existing door holes, or are extra holes needed to be drilled?
Might also look at the sticky mirror option in the short term.
Thanks again.

Existing holes.. But you need to buy special brackets for the Landrover mirrors to fit. There is a trader on eBay selling brackets and Landy mirrors. About £90

Hi I was looking at these from VW T25 T3 Vanagon SHC Land Rover Wing Mirrors (Pair) | SHC CURRENT and they have a blind spot option.

I mounted blind-spot mirrors inside the cab that do the job. Out of the elements and easy to adjust.

I sourced the mirrors from AliExpress and made brackets that are fixed to the pillars with silicone adhesive.

Thanks again all.
Opted for same adhesive mirrors as Icosahedron and fixed them to the wing mirrors, as we were heading out on a trip. Seems to work fine.
Will keep an eye out for Landrover mirror options.
Appreciate all responses, thanks.
