Yep not legal. Unless they are spring mounted(so they fall away if you hit someone) and can be adjusted from drivers seat(need to be electric).

DR30 import skylines have electric fender mirrors. Last set I saw was on yahoo Japan for around $250. Which is less headache than clearing a defect.

 

Stu.

 

You'll find that there not legal at all unfortunantly. Even with springs mounts and electrics, well at least in SA.

i have a few mates with fender mirrors and no one has ever said anything.. but they could just be lucky!

still waiting to decide..

Realistically you will be targeted for other things first. Too low, rims to wide etc before they pick on finder mirrors.

True, but it's also a "Get out of Jail free" card for your insurance company as well.

One of my cars passed a roadworthy inspection with fender mirrors. Lol.

What if the vehicle was factory fitted with fender mirrors? I tend to see a lot of old men in old hilux utes with fender mirrors. I'd nearly bet my left nut they bought the vehicle new with fender mirrors and aren't rad fan boys.

Per the regulations, if it came out with it in Australia back in the day, you're all good. Which some, particularly commercials, did.

 

If you're looking to fit them to your KE, theoretically you're shit out of luck.

Not to change directions but still on topic "fender mirror help" and probably better then starting a new topic but

 

Could you mount this sort of fender mirror in the stock position on the doors of a 30/55 corolla? and they still be usable?

Is there a specific place they have to be mounted? (any measurements would be great)

Or do I have to wing it from looking at pictures?

Redwarf, were any corollas in Australia fitted with them? The reason I ask is that i've seen a very old picture of a KE10 in Australia fitted with fender mirrors. Possibly factory fitted and legal?

if you like them put them on dude, iv been pulled over heaps for rbt's and such and none of the cops have said anything about the fender mirror and ive even pulled off the factory mirror off the door

Most seem to be mounted directly above where the crease here stops at the guard.

 

Should be easy enough to browse some google images and figure it out.
