    Passenger side mirrors technically still aren't legally required as long as the interior and drivers side mirrors meet the 20 degree viewing requirements which most vehicles today don't. (Neither would those beautiful cars either) Two intact mirrors though are, so by having three you have a bit of wiggle room if you happen to have one damaged.

    Car Wizard: On your 308, there is a clear plastic coolant reservoir attached the rear end of the engine bay. It looks pretty grungy; You can clean it so that it looks brand new by removing it and soaking it for a few days in a solution of sulfamic acid and water. Sulfamic acid is easily obtained for about $3 at a big box hardware store such as the Home Despot or Lowes. There is a video that shows how to do it here on YT, "How to clean & restore coolant tank- PERMANENTLY" look it up. I did it on my '01 Subaru Outback and the difference is startling- It really does look like it is brand new!

      I don't recommend using acid on plastic. it's very difficult to determine how long to treat it with the acid, and if you treat it too long, it can actually EAT the plastic. Different types of plastic will react differently to the acid. A light and careful acid treatment should be fine, but it's very dicey on plastic.
