Are Mirror Guards Worth It?

As roads remain narrow, or even narrower thanks to overgrown bushes and trees, and trucks continue to grow in size, it’s inevitable that HGV mirrors will face more frequent impacts. Not every knock ends in a break, but sadly, many do. And when a mirror is damaged, it’s not just frustrating - it can seriously affect visibility and put other road users at risk.

While truck manufacturers are investing more in the technology of mirrors, we often hear from HGV fleet managers who are spending upwards of £1,000 per month repairing damaged mirrors - usually due to overhanging trees, tight turns, or minor vehicle clashes. It’s money that doesn’t need to be spent again and again.

That’s why more and more fleets are opting for a one-time investment in mirror protection.

At Parma Group, we’re trusted by fleets across the UK for our expertise in wheel safety and styling, but our commitment to vehicle protection doesn’t stop there. We offer a comprehensive range of safety solutions, including robust mirror protection, to help keep your vehicles secure on the road. Whether you’ve worked with us before or are just getting to know us, you can count on the same reliability, quality, and practical innovation across our full safety range.

Our range of stainless steel mirror guards are a great way to protect your fleet's mirrors, offering both durability and a sleek metal finish.  Mirror Guards are designed to preserve all original mirror viewing angles and do not obstruct mirror visibility - they're designed for each vehicle precisely for this reason. With impact-absorbing materials and options for over 30 vehicle models, we help fleets protect mirrors and reduce avoidable repair costs.

Feedback from truck drivers on forums like TruckNet UK is clear: mirror protection works. One driver commented, ‘I can safely say they have saved many very expensive mirrors. Wagons without them didn’t stand a chance.’

Our mirror protection options complement great designs, not override them.
