Spoon Wide Blue Rearview Mirror and Carbon Cover

One of the best 'usability' mods I have in the car is a Broadway oversized rearview mirror. As per the description it is larger than the OEM mirror and simply clips over the top providing a much wider field of vision. There is one minor gripe I have with it though - being oversized; pulling down the sun visors catches the mirror.

I wanted something OEM sized that would provide a wider field of vision than OEM. Cue the Spoon wide blue mirror. It has a 14000R convex curvature to ensure a wide field of vision and in addition it has a blue coating to reduce reflective glare.



I also didn't want the mirror to be lonely, so it's now got a fetching carbon fibre coat ;)

Aero Progress

One of the mysteries in the UK tuning scene is why TGM's body shop is not as well known as it should be. They are a top class outfit and have plenty of work through the doors; with lots of amazing projects like numerous GP2 race cars and a NSX kitted out with parts from the Mclaren MP4-12C to name but a few! Willie, Tom's brother, runs the body shop and is phenomenol in what he does. Anyway, the reason I mention this is because work has started on my aero and I am blown away by the results even at this early stage (keep in mind nothing is fully fitted or painted yet) :)
