Provided is a wing mirror assembly 8 comprising an aerodynamically-shaped shell 12, a mirror within the shell 12, and an arm 10 for mounting the shell 12 to a vehicle 2. The mounting arm 10 has two perpendicular arm portions 16, 18, one of which is connected to an underside 22 of the shell 12, and the other is attachable to a vehicle door 14. Either, or both, of the arm portions have an aerofoil cross-section, which may have a positive angle of attach in the range +5 – + 10 degrees. The aerofoil elements reduce the pressure of the air flowing over the arm portions 16, 18, which diverts airflow away from the shell 12, thereby reducing the aerodynamic impact of the wing mirror assembly 8. Also provided is a vehicle 2 with the wing mirror assembly 8.
