Euromirrors are on, and outstanding ! Took most of a day to adjust to the image-bending, and now it's sooo much better ! Chickened out though, and had Audi put them on . . . yeh, they have a special mirror tool allright . . . they use . . . plastic tongue depressors . . . :0

Default Mine were a Christmas present, so I'm not sure of the cost. Stratmosphere.com sells them though.

Default I also chickened out

Dealer used the special tool, his fingers!. He popped out the old and popped in the new. Still, they work a treat though, specially on the freeway(s)

Default Congrats. Hated the new, smaller , oval rear view in the new car so

much; I just added this from Griot's....really gives you some visibility. Has a very nice way of clipping on the existing rear view....(think our new oval mirror is smaller than the one used here as an example.) That with the Euros gives tons more vision in all areas.

Denny, great idea. - Does the new one block the visors from folding down?

Default I can only agree how much better one can see the right side of their car

with the Euro mirrors. None of the pictures on the web do them justice as to what you really can see.

Installed them myself. The key was not scratching anything.

Default I'm interested in getting these too. Please post a picture with the visors down. I want

to get a good view of how it will look inside the car.

Does the mirror fit tightly over the old one?

Thanks, John
