The view out the rear window is a bit restricted now with the security screen, especially when things are strapped to it or there's 4 mountain bikes in the back! Although the standard wing mirrors are reasonably large I spied these larger versions for sale. The first photo shows how much larger they are. I also think they'll be useful in the Pyrenees driving on the wrong side of the road with the rear full of gear.
Reasonably easily fitted. First take off the top door hinge, 2 torx screws to the bulkhead and 2 into the door, the 2 in the bulkhead go into captive nuts whereas on the door there are bolts behind. I managed to squeeze a spanner between the door lining to get at it but you may have to remove the lining.
Once unbolted 2 screws are removed which hold the mirror assembly to the hinge then the new mirror is bolted on.
I took the opportunity to spray some waxoyl into the bulkhead while the hinge was off and smeared some around the back of the hinge before bolting the hinge back on.
Easy as that, much better rear visibility and despite them being a bit bigger they don't really make the 110 look like a lorry.
