Hi, I used "Clamp ons" with my original 401 and I never had a problem. I still have them somewhere as usual buried in my garage. However, my current 401 has mirrors fitted to the doors, as done by a previous owner. These are much better than wing mirrors as they are visually closer and look as though they were an original fitment.

It is all about safety and despite my original and continued misgivings about drilling holes in my 401, if I had another I would certainly drill away with mirrors that looked original. It is hard to understand why such an originally expensive car was not fitted with them in the first place.

Cheers
