I sold my driver's side aspheric mirror, and replaced it wih ta normal mirror, because I felt that the view, although wider, was distorted and inaccurate. You'd be better off adjusting your mirror so you cannot see your left fender at all. After all, nothing can sneak into a space a foot or so wide between the left door/fender and the normal mirror's view. Personally, I like to just see the left side of the car and use a normal mirror. I'd rather strain to turn my head and see the rear and side view without any distortion. This is not a car that you want to get into a sideswipe accident with!!!
Of course, this is all individual taste/opinion.
