Has anyone found a blind spot mirror for the Aero?
I find if I set my mirrors to see cars in the next lane to me then I cannot see the curb when parking.
I have seen a few blind spot mirrors for sale but a bit tacky although that maybe better than curbing my alloys

Don't you have the self-parking option?

Not an issue on the Plus 8, but then it has rather less bodywork than an Aero....

Is your passenger side mirror flat or convex?

You've just made me realise how little I actually park the Aero next to a curb... I never try to get too close to the curb anyway and the car is not ridiculously wide so just about get away with it.

Yes I could do that but sometimes when in a hurry or a passenger in the car leaning over to alter the mirrors is not always ideal so I thought there must be a better more permanent solution.

Is there anything in the accessory parking camera market? If so would a small camera mount somewhere to give the view you need and a monitor on the passenger side?
