Title: Door mirrors
Post by: hotrod on September 07, 2008, 08:27:10 PM: I know there was a mirror post on the old site BUT
I was waiting in the car whilst my wife grabbed a few things from the shops and looked at the car next (a TL Magna) to me and thought those mirrors would look pretty good on a beddy.
They look like they would fit straight onto a beddy door.
Has anyone seen or heard of this? or what's peoples opinion on both size and whether it would work? ???

One of my vans has Prado electric mirrors which look OK and are large enough to get a good view.
I will get some photos soon.

Other large mirrors that may fit include Landcruiser:

I have a set off an SV11 Camry that look like they would fit but I think that the mirrors are too small.

Thanx for the Pic looks great! I been looking at some that look similar to this off a Holden 4by. Who makes the prado anyway.

I been checking out the states, but I can't find any big enough. Most of their pic ups seem to have small ones like cars. Are these Prado ones heated? Or just electric? I'm on a mission to sort both electric and heated ones. In the States they got em with built in indicators and all , but again I only been able to find small ones.

Cheers! ;)

Next time I go to Bunnings, I'll pop into the Holden dealer next door and see if I can get some photoes and prices of these Holden ones I've seen.
