    Are european/blind spot mirrors available for the F8? Perhaps it’s a part sourced from Italy? Did a lot of searching but came-up with nothing.

    Any help from our friends in the EU would be most appreciated ~ part numbers, places to purchase, etc.

    Mille grazie!

    So, answering my own question, the answer is YES. 890628 (r) & 890627 (l) Had them mounted on my US spec F8. Visibility & lack of blind spot is much much better. Very worthwhile modification for US spec 458/488/F8 ~ same part number for all 3 models.

    Same part numbers for heated or non-heated mirrors?

    No. To my knowledge, the part numbers for non-heated are 828284500 (L) 82824400 (R) and are much less expensive.

    I find it harder to judge distances of approaching vehicles with these mirrors. If blind spots are the concern, I find it much better to adjust standard flat mirrors using this method. This yields almost no appreciable blind spots and it’s much easier to judge how close another vehicle is. It takes some getting used to, but much better than the way many people adjust their mirrors.

    If your car is US spec and you haven’t changed anything, then your OEM mirrors are NOT aspheric (blind spot). US DOT regulations do not permit European spec mirrors. They way you can tell is if your right mirror is etched “Objects in your mirror are closer than they appear.”
