Having now done a few happy miles in my Plus 4, I have experienced the less than ideal side mirrors, especially the nearside one! So, replacing these will be my 'first' non OEM upgrade!! Does anyone have any views with experience of the 2 options that I think offer the best solution... 1: The Librands mirror. https://www.librands.co.uk/products-view-71.html2: The Phoenix mirror http://www.morganhoods.com/id31.htmlI also note that both options have different attachment locations of the mirror to the stalk, the Phoenix mirror at the edge... and the Librands more in the centre. Does this make any difference to the usability and functionality of the mirror? Many thanks, Peter.

You can also get slightly larger convex mirrors, the Model 2 from John Worrall at Heart of England Morgans. These are the type I have and I'm very happy with them, but I would think they are all pretty similar.

Well, speaking just for myself, I loathe convex mirrors. Whatever the presumed benefit derived from a slightly wider field of view is more than offset by the change of scale and distance perception. Just my opinion.

I have the Phoenix mirrors. Very happy with them. Far better adjustability, a huge improvement.

I found the biggest issue was the near side mirror not being able to turn in enough. 10 mins with an angle grinder making a slot in the back of the mirror and now its fine for me.
