p.s. you noticed clio wing mirrors are terrible in the wet? mine were, spray kept flicking round the edge and up on the mirror face! result HUGE lack of reward vision!

Sounds an interesting propsition!So essentially the tape can bend and provide a better angle?

As for the Clio mirrors- way she drives, there's no need to see where you've been
