Title: door mirrors
Post by: lambert on March 19, 2009, 20:27:21

hi, are there such things as bigger mirrors for 200's like you can get for defenders, only with 20 foot of car trailer on the back the standard ones are pants for reversing with? had thought of transit van ones but whilst practical they aint too pretty.  any ideas other than bolt on expanders like caravaners use would be welcome, cheers.

I am going to fit defender ones by making triangular plates the same size as the mirror mounts now and bolting the defender ones to them..

cheviot have done it here (http://www.cheviot4x4.com/uploads/gallery/fullsize/IMG_2694.JPG)

you could try fitting 300tdi ones. they are bigger, but a word of caution. Your mirrors must be able to see the rear corner of the trailer so when loaded you may need towing mirrors anyway.
