If you can see the rear corners of your trailer and anything that is behind these corners with your car mirrors, then you don't need extension mirrors.

If you cannot see the rear corners of the trailer, then, by law, you require extension mirrors.

Black Fox some of the older Cruisers are not as wide as newer models but a 98 would still be 202 cm wide which is as you say wider than most cars, and certainly wider than a Verso. personally i wouldn't tow one without towing mirrors, especially for the extra field of vision  they do give you

I did once tow the Pathfinder without extension mirrors (when I collected it) - never again!

Even with the Cardinal where I had good visibility over the top I still used extensions so I could see right down the sides of the camper.

I do use the strap-on type mirrors on my Xsara, they work well on that although they didn't work on the previous Berlingo! I think they're very dependent on how solid the car mirrors are. The Berlingo's large mirrors suited the rubber-suction type mirrors.
