Don't laugh, but can I turn the wing mirrors inwards when I'm parked up, so that no one clips them as they go past?

I tried turning them in, but they seemed so stiff that I didn't want force it any further!

Yes you can. (Sort of inwards and upwards).

Personally, I never did this as they're so wide I lived in the hope that people would avoid them, and therefore give the car a wide birth, rather than risk scraping the side of the car.

Yeah, they definitely turn in.

See the silver MINI in this photo (thanks SoggyCornFlakes

):

Just wrap your hand around the back of the mirror and pull them gently towards you. They'll pivot on their bases.
