Australia 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Stornoway Grey
Mirrors

Is it my imagination or is there a discrepancy between the side mirror and the inside reverse mirror? Maybe its an optical illusion (or maybe I just need glasses) but I find the side mirror gives the impression that a vehicle is further away than the inside mirror indicates. Quite alraming at times. Does anyone else have the same issue or is it time to make an appointment with my friendly Optometrist?
Cheers,
Rick. TDV6 / Stornoway Grey + Black / Rhodium / Sunroof / Side Steps / DVD / SatNav / 19" Wheels / Bi-Xenon / Premium ICE / Nudge Bar

I think it maybe that the side mirrors give you a winder angle RRS TDV6 Gone but still around

I have noticed this on most cars, the interior mirror gives a different perspective than the door mirrors, and on some cars the door mirrors differ from side to side. some of my Previous cars
