Editing Door Mirror, Sourcing and Replacing (section)

==Multivex Mirrors==

An enhancement of the mirror is replacement of the flat glass with a wide viewing angle mirror from MultiVex. These are available in pairs and are intended to be stuck over your existing mirrors using double sided sticky pads.

Multivex mirrors are increasingly convex towards the outside and give a much wider field of view than standard fitment. They are particularly popular with track day enthusiasts as they eliminate the notorious blind spot. Also useful on motorways (and when travelling abroad) to avoid having to lean forward to check the mirror view fully. 

MultiVex have a website at Multivex.co.uk explaining more. Now stocked by the Bell and Colvill shop, Elise Parts and Hangar 111. Check the benefits pages for the latest discounts.

If they are fitting with the supplied pads they protrude past the mirror frame and look a bit ungainly

As an alternatively the original glass can be removed and the Multivex fitted in its place with a bit of DIY enthusiasm.

Remove the original mirror from the frame by easing it out of its clips

The Multivex mirror can be fitted into the frame, but note that it is a slightly smaller size

I bonded it into place from the rear using black silicon sealant (Sikaflex could be used but would be harder to remove!!)

Once it was cured on the inside, run a bead around the front (use masking tape), smooth it out and refit to the shroud
