i changed my mirrors for tinted blue convex for my rado

 

Yup, you can take it off and put it back on later if you want. I personally don't like them either; I find them a little distracting.

 

get blue aspeherical mirrors to replace the stock ones....available from troopster.

 

I think I'm jut going to remove them, but...
I googled troopster and got nothing?

 

He is a member on here but you can visit his online store at www.dubstopimports.com

He has the mirrors listed on the site. I think they are like $80 for the set.

Troopster93 is his user name and his real name is Rus. He runs dubstop imports.

 

Oh okay.
I'll have to check into the mirrors.
That's where I got my antenna from that actually came in today.

 

I've been trying to get a hold of Rus....my right mirror has gone funky with brown spots yet the drivers mirror is fine....I do like them though....

 

Just keep trying. I know he can sometimes be slow to respond but he always does.....he'll take care of you.

 

Dubstop is a no go, took 2 months for mine to be delivered and I could never reach them to get an update. I actually cancelled my order online and they still arrived and I was still charged. Oh well. There are some other places out there to go. Check out www.vagparts.com and look for the euro blind spot mirrors. They are just one place that has them. Here you are: https://sslrelay.com/s74326199.onea...eandoneshop.co.uk/sess/utn;jsessionid=1547f74898a084e/shopdata/index.shopscript
ECSTUNING has some as well. If you can find a place that orders euro parts the part numbers for the blue aspherical mirrors are:
Drivers side: 1J1 857 521C
Passenger side: 1J2 857 522C

 

Blind Spot Mirror

I got the blue aspherical split zone mirror for my GTI in 2000, from a guy in the Army in Germany (through vwvortex), anyone remember Roger Moore?? Anyway, when I knew I was getting the '03 Passat, I ordered another one, and it went on the first day. I also have the right side for the GTI, and none of the 3 have any problems. I'd sooner give up my turbo than my split zone mirror. The right side isn't as important as the stock mirror is somewhat wide angle.

ECS Tuning has the driver's mirror in stock for $64, well worth it.

Here's my $0.02...

You don't need stick-on mirrors or aspherical mirrors at all. Save your money and adjust your stock mirrors properly and you'll have no blind spots.

Seat yourself properly in the car. Adjust the rear-view so you can see out the rear window. When you adjust the side mirrors, you DO NOT want to see the side or rear of your own car when sitting properly. You want the field of view to be 6-12" away from the rear of your car.

This way, a car approaching from the rear will be viewable in the rear mirror, transition to the side mirror, and then to your peripheral view without ever being in a blind spot. I was taught this method in a driving clinic, and it works perfectly.

Actually, I do both. And, with the aspherical mirrors, I can see cars three lanes over. Basically, they just make the field of view much wider.

This is dead nuts right! You also don't have blinding lights in your side mirrors from cars following you. Keep your cash for something worthwhile, even those blue ones don't keep you from glare unless they're set properly.
