Guard mirrors would suit astro with the other add ons (visor , stainless trim ) but get rid of the door mirror as well .

Isn't it illegal to use wing mirrors nowadays?

I recall wing mirrors having to be moved on japanese imports due to legal reasons.

Does that help at all? Some of it will also depend on the style of mirror you use, as you can see mine slope out a bit.

Otherwise, I'll to try measure it later on this afternoon. Image

Very hard to adjust mirrors mounted on the mudgards whilst driving or even just sitting in the car... A lot of getting and getting out to adjust them unless you have a good helper... :?

set 'em once and you shouldn't really need to move them...

you've got a 360* view in a mini... i'll just use my neck if i need it...


or i could just pull up to the lights and ask the windscreen washer people to do it for me.. :)
