Yeah, if you can lean waaaaaay back and over to the passenger side, you
can see something other than the side of the road. Ask me how I know
this!! :)

my dreaded other vehicle is a minivan :-( - and I wonder whether I sould
put some mirrors on the bonnet to give me a better field of vision. I
like the looks of a couple of bullet mirrors up front on the bonnet, but
I wonder how practical they are considering vibration. Anyone have any
experience with this? Alternatively, I could move the driver's mirror
forward and mount one on the passenger door, but I've heard that this
may not work well either (especially on the passenger side). Real world
experiences much appreciated.

I can say from experience that a "matching" bullet mirror on the
passenger side (as I onced tried to do on a GT6+) will be rather close
to useless...unless you can find a convex mirror glass for it. Even then
I'm not sure how useful it will be.
