My wife's 2006 Honda Jazz has a convex driver's side mirror. I'm
looking for someone to supply a replacement flat mirror in Melbourne -
does anyone have any ideas on who I can call?

While I was googling to try to find a supplier, I came across what seems
to be the current ADR for rear vision mirrors:

The ADR says that the external driver's side mirror must be flat. How
then have Honda been able to sell this car with a convex mirror?

You crash into things with both types?

Same way they got the CRV rear lights passed, I guess.

Local O'Briens or similar may be apply to supply a cut to shape
replacement mirror glass in either clear or tint/ Some do & some don't.

I suppose it's silly to ask if you've checked whether Honda Spares carry a
flat replacement as a stock item?

Good question, my 09 Hilux has a convex drivers side mirror and I don't
like it.
Not 100% sure about my wife's new Forester but I think it also has a
convex drivers side external mirror.
