Tinting Mirror

Has anyone retrofitted a tinting mirror? or found a 3rd party one that works well.

I've seen this one but it's a US company, so difficult to get in the UK.

Any ideas?

Cheers

I've had the Honda auto dimming mirror for about a month.
It works like a dream, no more blinding from other people badly adjusted head lights.

It was a little expensive, about 300 Euros and took the dealer about 2 hours to mount as apparently they need to remove a lot of interior trimmings.

I can recommend this auto dimming morror to every one

I've got one as well and it is a decent bit of kit, but not 100% necessary, however I wouldn't part with mine cos' I'm lazy .

That rear spoiler is just put in the most perfect position.

Saves you buying a a self dipping mirror in the first place.

And when the mirror is dipped the rear view is diminished also.
