    After binning my Blade last week I had to replace one of my mirrors.

    Didn't buy one of the chinese cheapies that don't fold but a 80 squids one from M&P - really really cheesed off:mad:

    no prizes but there are 2 very important differences(OEM on the right)

    Yes back on the road!, they do snap back nicely when in position.
    Felt like a freight truck when trying to filter when I couldn't fold in, funny how a few cms extra make a huge difference:D

    Externally they are identical to OEM and these are E- marked unlike the Chinese variant TBH I can't be arsed to return them - Job for the week end is to swap over the internals.
