I'm wondering if anyone can order a European passenger side sun visor with the built in mirror?? will that be the same as the american driver's side visor but with a mirror??

My guess is anybody with internet or phone service and a credit card could order one.

sounds good.....I thought it'll be cool to have a mirror for the driver's side also....but i need to confirm that the Euro one will have the mirror before I order....thanks

Not just Euro, but more or less UK specific.

Most of Europe also drives on the wrong side of the road ;)

Most of Europe does not drive on the wrong side of the road. All of the countries of continental Europe (France, Italy, Germany, Austria, etc.) drive on the right side of the road like the USA.

Had the same first reaction, but then realized that we, European, are indeed driving on the "wrong side"... at least according to all of them, Brits! ;)

Try contacting Eddy at Flying Tiger. He can locate anything smart related. eddy@flyingtiger.ca

On the 450 you just had to purchase the mirror. It attached to the visor by an adhesive backing on the mirror. I have one installed in mine.

i stuck a 450 mirror on mine...works just fine. it's got a unique shape designed to fit the 450, so it doesn't really look like it belongs there. whatever, it works for me. here's some pics from nipper's ebay page. he doesn't have any online right now, but if you send him an email, he may be able to find one for you.

Agreed, we do drive on the wrong side of the road. Doing so means our cars are more expensive as special RHD ones have to be made.

It's not the wrong side, merely the left hand side vs. the right hand side. I've seen plenty of my fellow countrymen take off in their UK rental cars and promptly turn into the incorrect lane of traffic at the first stop sign.
