R.O.W. (Rest of World) OEM Convex Mirrors

Does anyone know the part numbers or where to get the OEM TSX (Honda Accord) "Blindspot" Convex mirrors that everyone else gets for their Driver's side and Passenger's side mirrors? I know this is a popular thing to do on German cars (on VW's for instance) in lieu of applying those cheap little round mirrors. Thoughts?

For example: http://oemplus.com/index.php?main_pa...roducts_id=847

Don't bother! I have them and they're not much use. It's not a very wide angle of view and the split just detracts from the image in the main mirror.

They're fitted to all UK Accords as far as I know.

I guess they could be ordered as spare parts from a UK dealer, but I know from experience that they will be expensive. I fitted a replacement mirror to our Civic and that was £40 (GBP) just for the glass.

If you don't mind waiting a couple of days I'll take a picture of mine and you can see how they look from the driver's seat. Got to wait for the snow to clear first!

Hmm i'm not sure if Australians get different mirrors but i have absolutely no blind spots with this one. My CL9 needed an ugly little round mirror on the drivers side mirror but i dont need one on the CU2!

That said, i always have my mirrors set up like in wraith's link, even my CL9 but that didn't solve the blind spot issues on the drivers side. No such issue on the CU2 for me.
