Wind mirror removal

[kenwhiteside]

I see lots of cars in NZ with no wing mirrors. Anyone know if this is legal in the uk?

no, you need 2 rear view mirrors and the offside door mirror must be one of them

[RamoNZ]

Correct.

You could remove the passenger mirror, but not sure what you would want to - S2 looks a bit loop sided with just the one

just replace the uk spec cricket bat mirrors with the uber sexy and sleek US and Aussie style aero mirrors..... door mounted works of art.

I know japanese cars have wing mirror. Only door mirror driverside in germany is ok if you can have a look back the inside mirror.

Lol, think you just had your English corrected by a German The last car I had with proper wing mirrors (lol) was a Morris Marina, and they were utterly useless for seeing behind you. The aero Mazda mirrors Ian mentioned and Thomas posted in his second pic are the ones you want. Just be aware that although they're not as useless as wing mirrors (lol) they're still much more useless than the ugly cricket bats. Juts make sure to source the NZ or Aussie ones; although eBay has loads more American ones for sale, they don't work on right-hand-drive cars as the field of view is wrong

Ive never actually noticed this before. Just looked through some 1st gen pics of NZ cars.. Looks clean

Ahh yes how embarrassing I was referring to the door mirrors. Such a shame that you have to keep them on as it looks very good without them.
