Other Tinting Mirror

charlas · 2nd February 2008, 21:35

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

Its a lot of money when you can just tilt it by hand!!

It's an awful lot of money just so you don't have to tilt it by hand!!

I couldnt justify that kind of money for something so trivial. the spoiler does that job for me. lol

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.
