Funny you should ask that.......


I was looking at the same last night. The top item on this link. Probably other places that you could get hold of them as well though.

Cheers, I found them earlier.. Was hoping for a cheap Chinese option, as its only a bit of metal or plastic...

You can do a bit of faffery with the mirror legs to make the mirrors sit further out if I remember correctly. It involves swapping the legs from side to side and taking the mirrors off the stalks. Cheap option though :)

I'm sure I read about it on here before so a search will likely turn up some info..

Good link, that looks fairly straightforward, I think I'll also give that mod a go, otherwise it's the extenders option.....

I have done the mirror mod and am very happy with the results..... wouldn't go back.( I cut the notches as shown at the bottom of the link).

Definitely do the notches if you do much (any) filtering. The mirrors do stick out noticeably further.
Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.
