RS2 wing mirror differences

[martinjs]

Whats the difference between LHD and RHD RS2 wing mirrors?
Does the glass just have to be changed to use LHD ones on a RHD car?

I wouldn't bother with the glass - they are useless

LOL agreed, its a whole new driving experience, get used to turning your head a lot or using the 'Force' to detect traffic around you

Look nice though!

Hmm, i do quite a lot of motorway driving so might not be such a good idea getting some then :@

They are not as good as the standard ones but you do find you have to adjust them depending on what sort of roads you are driving.

I thought you could get the glass that has the twin angle reflection - what ever you call it - maybe try the porsche websites?

I bought a new mirror glass for my nearside one, I got it from Design 911, and it is kind of convex giving a wider if not slightly distorted view.

Family album does show flat or convex glass was available. Must admit I love the look of them but I drive by mirrors a lot (too many teenage years driving vans and land-rovers) plus I'm too lazy to turn my head.

Never had to adjust mine for different roads - get it right and you shouldn't have to! Mine are definitely convex glass, so they definitely make cars appear to be further away - the interior mirror proves they are closer. Like anything else, I got used to it. I've had one 80 and one coupe with the normal mirrors and to be honest it's only the larger glass area that you tend to miss a bit, other than that I find them to be perfectly adequate.

My only concern is getting them wiped out on narrow roads - I had the offside hit by an Escort van ages ago, but the little mark on it was easily polished out. Then I had it struck again by a Volvo which was out of control on snow. No damage this time, but I was mighty lucky to still have the side of my Kitty in one piece! I drove up a grass bank to achieve that near miss - and only just avoided getting beached, there was a deep ditch barely six inches further across!!!

I don't think they're that bad. Didn't take me long to get used to the smaller glass area & I don't have to adjust them either.
