[s-cars] Side Mirror Glass Replacement

[John Cunningham]

Just a warning for others to watch out for UK RHD glass.  You do say 
'sourced' and 'Euro' so I assume you got LHD, and of course with a "Nemo 
mirror" car you can't screw it up, but you have to be careful sourcing 
glass from the UK - obv. with symmetrical mirror cars getting 
wrong-side-drive is bad as the magnifying mirror will be on the wrong side.

The 'split' is called 'aspherical' and is a Euro thing and agreed it is 
the best. I have it on the M5 mirrors on my 540 and it eliminated a 
brutal and dangerous blind spot (duh naturally because the mirrors were 
designed in Europe for that glass and when they car came to USA it got 
shitty DOT mirrors that were dangerous but oh no DOT is afraid we'll be 
confused by actually having better mirrors and lights so we better go 
with the 1950's technology and better put that stupid warning on the 
right hand mirror too!!!! /hateDOTstandardsrant)
