Whilst we're all salivating, let's pause for a moment, to consider why 100% of the car manufacturers I can think of put that thing in the middle of the windscreen?! Is it to aid the driver in seeing what's behind him?! :o

They dont have them on vans with a bulk head. The legal requirement (ie to pass a mot) is to have rear view mirrors, 2 external or 1 internal and 1 external on the drivers side.

You've got to admit, there is more of a "blind spot" with just the two wing mirrors. The lorry/van solution's a compromise, how else could a commercial vehicle carry a substantial load when laden? A periscope?! :P

Otherwise, a seriously well thought out car. When's it in PBMW?? :) ....and where's Kos?

Remarkable workmanship,BUT,all you haters of all things French,take note,the undisputed King of E30 Touring modding,Dips here, has incorporated a bit of Renault influence,just to take it to that slighty higher level of quality.......
