I'd be interested to see what it looks like when it's on your van, if you've got time to do a photo or two Ringo?

Turned up today thanks Gaz - popped out at lunch and fitted it. Not sure how effective it is yet (will probably have to adjust to find the most useful position) and im not sure of the look - but if it stops us having an accident while we get used to the van then it will have served its purpose....

What do folks think?

I might try rotating the mirror and seeing what thats like....

It doesn't look quite so big now in comparison with your original mirror.

Yeah, will look better once its been rotated I reckon. Can you remember where you got the mirror from Gaz?
