side mirror

Hi - i am looking for a 4 inch peep mirror with the arm that is curved. Since I have put the venetian on my car, cant see too well in the blind spots. I dont have to put a mirror on...in SA if the car wasn;t manufacutred with them - you dont have to have them, however might be a good idea.

Cheers ...
