I was wondering if I could get some more wing mirror for my Defender 90 CSW
2002?


If so were?
and how good?

Regards JJ

are they different from the earlier ones? if not, then they're pretty
standard items.

unless of course you mean "different mirrors".

I used to see plenty of the shatterproof (polished metal I think)
military types at the likes of Sodbury Sortouts. Must have been at
least twice the size of a standard mirror head. Saw some HGV type ones
as well, heated.

Unless you really mean wing top mounted mirrors instead of door hinge
mounted mirrors.

All the best

I have genuine wing mounted mirrors, and actually although the view is not
as good to the rear as the door mounted ones, (I have a door mirror on the
drivers side aswell) I find that the wing mirror is in my field of vision
when driving unlike the door mirror. The more the merrier :)

Shatterproof Stainless wingmirrors are crap. We had some buses fitted
with them, they got dirty 4 times more quickly, didn't reflect as
well, and had interesting dimples and strange magnifying effects where
the metal wasn't quite the right shape.

In the end the Union vetoed them, insiting on re-fitting of proper
mirrors.
