How many people know their mirrors are different sizes

Post by Rich.R »

Only noticed today that my mirrors are different sizes on my 2011 caddy. I was in a panic thinking someone put an odd one on but then started looking at other caddys and they are all the same :D . I just thought i would see if anyones had their vans a long time and not noticed

Looks a bit odd and I can't see why they made them different sizes. Surely aesthetics should have overruled what small advantage they give.

I remember the old merc 190's from 1982 onwards having them like that. So that trend been out for decades now. Still don't fully know why

One of the first things I noticed (bought the van on Friday) I would prefer symmetry, but I'm very impressed with clarity they give

Was planning to do the same at the previous caddy, so have a set Touran mirrors piano gloss black for sale. At the new one new model I have mounted the Caddy Life mirrors in color but the mat black has been sprayed in gloss black.
