To have the best view you will need wing mirrors regardless of vehicle driven.  We have a discovery and  the view behind is expanded with extension mirrors.  Just think how it would feel to injure a motorcyclist for example by having unnecessary blind spots.

The milenco mirrors that screw onto the existing mirrors with thumb screws don't have as much of a problem with vibration as the rubber band type.

Not true.  You will not get the view behind required by law without a set of extension mirrors.  Especially with a Terrano as it's quite a narrow 4x4.

Damn right! The amount of foolish people towing without them is ridiculous, If the caravan is wider than the car (which most are unless you own a Hummer) then you should always have extension mirrors"

We use the elastic type band ones, from the local accessory shop, Had them for 6 years now and still going strong, Fitted all our cars perfectly, in fact they seem to fit our Terrano better than any of the others

Good luck with the car,
