The original rear view mirror, mounted on the scuttle, was useless - got me through IVA, but just gave me a view of the spare wheel.
Trying something different - £2 gets me 2x glass blind spot mirrors shipped from China. High quality glass sitting on a plastic swivel mount. Small and slightly asymetric shape - yes - but in a test run provides a perfect view through the roll bar behind the car without taking up windscreen real estate.
The only adjustment needed an extra layer of mounting foam to give me the right viewing angle and the back of the mirror sprayed black to look discrete from the front of the car.
Only point of care - is everything looks further away than it really is due to the fisheye/wide angle nature of the glass.
Update - small adjustment required on the sun visors so they miss the mirror when folded down. Flipped them so the hinges are now on the bottom which gives just enough clearance.
