Default The Euro mirrors have a Vertical line that separates the normal lens from the concave (outter) side.

There is no wording* on the passenger euro mirror (*objects are closer then they appear). Nice clean look.

They are heated and fit perfectly.

Default The Euro is about .97 the size (exchange rate joke - don't mind me)

But seriously, the difference is that outer edge of the Euro mirrors are angled a bit differently, which extends the field of vision, thus helping to cut out blind spots. (I mean the angle of reflection - it's still a flat surface). I think they're essential, at least in a roadster (if you ever put the top up).

I don't have any pics, but Strat sells them:<ul><li><a href="http://www.stratmosphere.com/tt_blindspot_mirrors.htm">Strat's Euro mirrors</a></li></ul>
