Put mirrors always as near to the eyes as possible to get the widest 
view angle. If possible get convex mirrors to increase the view angle 
even more. The down side is that with convex mirrors the cars coming up 
from behind appear much smaller/further away than they really are, but 
one get soon accustomed to that.
The old style mirrors that are clamped to the side window frame may be a 
good solution and do not need holes in the bodywork.
