This methodology eliminates any crucial blind spots on the F-Type.
I've always had my side mirrors pointed out, but this video link really helped. Followed instructions for my right side mirror, and while at first it seemed extreme, I've gotten used to it, and it greatly improves that blind spot. I still take an over the should glance when I can. A side note: the rear view camera is of very low quality for a car in this price range. The back up camera on my humble Honda Accord smokes it.

Agree totally with the backup camera comment. That thing is atrocious.
