i broke a wing mirror when it fell off my Reliant three wheeler, err a long time ago

I thought that these mirror guards were really meant to benefit the "brittle", long armed, all-singing, all-dancing X250 mirrors? (..which were supposedly 200-300quid to have replaced?).

For the previous model Ducato/Boxer, I personally wouldn't bother.

Hi Michael..

I've never owned a pre-X250 Ducato /Boxer but those on the X250 MH we had did appear more "brittle" than those on the previous Transit and the subsequent Renault Master we had.They also seemed a lot bulkier..and they also "stuck out" more...

I'm not even sure that these mirror guards were considered an issue 'til the long armed X250 mirror came about.?..as it does only ever seem to be the X250 that get clacked in any numbers?

..maybe that's because a lot of X250 MHers are.. *cough*..older drivers, with little or no experience of anything bigger than their Honda Jazz!

(That was a joke, before anyone piles in with  "I drove  Scammell trucks for 40 years" type responses.. )
