Try moving the drivers seat back a notch, I'm a shortarse and I don't have this issue, so it must just be you

Have a look next time u sit in the ur car, u will see what I mean, the inner edge of the glass is blocked by the 'A' post, the bullet arms are further back so don't get blocked.

Fixed your text speak for you there Matthew.

I've taken a look and yes the line of the door frame is such as to obscure a line of about 10mm.

So with that in mind it makes the skull cap mirrors only 95% better on that side, rather than the 100% better on the drivers side then

Stick with the mirror design that was current on the model they were fitted too and then it doesn't look odd.

I bought a car that had bullet mirrors fitted, I binned them as they not only looked aesthetically out of place, but as a means of seeing what is going on behind you, they were completely rubbish.
