  I want 2 mirrors installed at the back of my garage - one at either side. My car is wide relative to the size of the garage opening and I think this would be the easiest way to help me park it inside the garage.

Garage opening width two hundred and fifty-two and a half cm approx

Volvo XC60 (my car) width with mirrors out two hundred and twelve cm So twenty cm space either side to drive in

Mirrors on the car are approx eighteen cm high and start about one hundred and seven cm above ground

I think buying two STAVE Mirror white $89 from Ikea would work pretty well. Unfortunately I can't paste the link because this site won't let me It is 160cm high X 70cm wide. You should be able to find it on the Ikea site.

Ikea say it can be mounted to a brick wall and contains the necessary mounting brackets but you would have to go to hardware store to get the extra items necessary to mount to the brick wall.

The mirror also has a narrow frame of just 3.1cm which is good.

I have re-organised my garage to accommodate the mirrors as much as possible

There are white containers on the floor that are 45cm high. This should not matter since the car external mirrors are the widest part of the car and are approx 107cm above ground level.

Volvo XC60 detailed dimensions:
Exterior Dimensions
Height one hundred and seventy-one cm
Length four hundred and sixty-four cm
Width one hundred and eighty nine cm
Width inc Mirrors two hundred and twelve cm

I'm not entirely sure if the mirror should be mounted above the white tubs or not. Perhaps it is easier to just have them mounted at ground level as they will still be almost as high as the car.

I am happy to buy the two mirrors myself from Ikea and talk to Bunnings about how to mount them on the brick wall.

But I would like to know if you have better/cheaper way of doing the same thing and for you to confirm if you think this idea will work well as a driving aid.
