MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Rear view mirror

I need to replace my rear view mirror on my frog-eye (scuttle mounted). I quite fancy a convex one to widen the view but the only ones I can find on the net are much too wide and I think will probably block my forward view.
Would be grateful if anyone has any experiences? Thanks

Hi Graham,
I have the standard mirror on mine but supplemented with a drivers side wing mirror that attaches to one of the bolts on the windscreen pillar. I haven't seen a convex one.

Thanks . The convex one from vi tage Cars works out at £58 plus carriage which seems rather steep. I think I will go with Neils advice.as Moss are doing a special at £9 and I will fit a quaterlight, overtaking style mirror that should give me good vision. I currently have wing mirrors fitted on the bonnet but they dont give much vision.
Appreciate the help

Yes I see your point

I set my mirrors, especially door, so that I have to move my head to see properly otherwise it means the mirrors are always in line with the eyes and headlights from behind dazzle them

Good idea Nigel - never thought of that.

I'm sure you have I just put it as a reminder for when you set the mirrors up - you soon remember when you're dazzled but that's not usually the best time to be resetting them :)
