Parking mirror

Apologies if this has been widely covered ( I'm new here). Has anyone tried fixing a mirror to the underside of the spoiler? At an angle that would show the bumper in relation to the car behind? I've had Toyota imports that had these, and they worked really well...
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
 
Hi Sam and welcome aboard :)

That's an interesting concept. I know the mirrors you mean, you see them on the imported Japanese people-carriers and campervans. I've never seen or heard of anyone doing that or attempting it on an A2 though. With the comparatively low position of the spoiler and letter-box height of the lower section of the rear window, I wonder if an angle could actually be achieved where a reflected image of the bumper could be seen in the rear-view mirror.
 
Thanks for the replies. Parking sensors are too dear for me at the moment, so I think I'll try the mirror idea. Stick on bathroom mirror 'sections' are cheap enough to try, or I might try adapting one of those internal add-on wide angle rear view mirrors.
I'll report back with any successes ...
