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.....

Definitely do the notches if you do much (any) filtering. The mirrors do stick out noticeably further.
