I've had a couple of different clamp on mirrors on my car prior to having the frames re-chromed, but have since decided to leave them off. With the little metal/rubber plate you can get decent purchase on the frame without denting it, but I became more worried about the mirror falling off and damaging the car. Even though it was fitted as tightly as I dared, I had one fall off in the wind (I assume the vibration over rough roads didn't help), but it luckily missed the bodywork. I met an XK140 owner who resorted to tying wire around the mirror as a safety precaution after it fell off and put a dent in the rear arch.
