Can't see how it's possible, or am I missing something?

I looked into this and the short answer is no, you would have to get some mirrored glass cut to fit, and the use adhesive to mount the glass. by the time you've done all that, you could have bought a pair of decent 2nd hand ones for £20ish,

You could buy that cheap plastic shitty stuff you can cut out and stick on the old mirror. That is something Adyf would do.

If you merely travel faster than everything else on the road, you know what's behind, as you've just overtaken it.
