    Hi all,

    I'm considering replacing my Aston V8 Vantage with a 575M. My garage door isn't super wide - the Vantage, with electric folding wing mirrors, does fit, but it's tight. According to the specs the 575 is slightly wider. Two questions: does the 575 have folding (electric or otherwise) side mirrors? And does anybody have any opinions or experiences with a 575 and a "standard sized" single garage? (I live in the UK if that makes any difference.)

    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Andy

    Mine fold but they are manual. A pain.

    Don't know what "standard" is in UK. But it fits fine without folding the mirrors in a standard U.S. 8ft wide garage door opening.

    My garage opening is 82.5 inches. The specs I've seen list the 575M at 76.2 inches wide. Does this include mirrors or not though? Probably not - is there any chance somebody could do me a huge favour and measure their car (mirrors folded and not)?

    Yikes, a 7' wide garage door! I have difficulty parking anything in something that narrow.
    Do you have some special method to make sure you are perfectly lined up with the door opening?

    Not really, drive slowly and being careful seems to work :)
