These are what I prefer:

Reason is image is big enough to see in them, but they are small enough to leave most of regular mirror usable. These are based on a 3-4" round size for image, but are much smaller. The image in the spot needs to be big enough for you to see a vehicle in them at a glance... with most of the little spots the image is too small to see at a glance.
Just my opinion.

im looking at a complete convex lense as listed by just kampers and others rather than any thing stuck on, i had larger leccy mirrors on our old camper and a set of those would be ideal its just finding some that arent a million quid... any one have convex mirrors fitted ??

There are "flat" one that are utter crap...
Get the "convex" ones (you have to ask for them though) they are THE only option.... and dont (didnt!!!) cost any more....

You can get normal and convex T25 mirrors
I have the convex from JK which really increases what you can see

Wouldn't matter what additional mirrors I stuck on mine, anything over 50mph and they fold in. Its about time we sussed an alternative to these flappy piles of poo that are T25 mirrors.

bought a pair of corrado mirrors on e-bay and fitted them yesterday, must say they are a lot better, visabilty greatly improved and no movement when on the move..
