I've taken a look and yes the line of the door frame is such as to obscure a line of about 10mm. So with that in mind it makes the skull cap mirrors only 95% better on that side, rather than the 100% better on the drivers side then Stick with the mirror design that was current on the model they were fitted too and then it doesn't look odd. I bought a car that had bullet mirrors fitted, I binned them as they not only looked aesthetically out of place, but as a means of seeing what is going on behind you, they were completely rubbish.
