Are you sure all the mirrors auto-dim? Is it a 08 addition? I only notice the rear view mirror dim. but never the side ones.

I don't think the side ones would, but ironically, they're the only ones that should! Especially in Canada, where we get flat glass for the driver's side, and an idiot label on the convex passenger side.....

Hi,

At first I didn't think the side ones would auto-dim, but in the 2008 pricing book on the Belgian website, it says:

Quote:

Rétroviseurs à commutation jour/nuit automatique (rétroviseur et mirroir conducteur)

I understand it as the central one and the left-side one.

Maybe it's an error, but anyway I haven't been dazzled yet, so they are correctly designed... I've seen that you have other side mirrors in Canada (bigger), maybe this explains the difference?

Very nice A.N.

How much is it? Does it come with tire or extra? You should change the fog also to match the headlamp.

Edit: I notice yours look different than the one shown on the cover of the 08 B booklet. That one is 17".

How does it ride on those rubber band-height tires? Looks nice though!

Pity you guys have to have that orange reflector, Still if it saves lives ---

White is the new hot color for 2008(replacing silver)!!

Looks great!!
I'm also thinking of putting my summers on soon.
Maybe mid-August!!

I've completely lost sight of our house with some snow banks in our back yard over 13.5 feet high when clearing the deck and roof.
