Wing mirrors

[hdavy]

Does anyone have an opinion as to how far back from the headlights wing mirros should be fitted on the wings?

About 1 foot. But have someone hold it in place, and judge for yourself. They are excellent! Modern cars should have them......

I have the Desmo swingback mirrors. They are 7" back from the front of the wing (coloured paint not the headlight glass)

Personal preference, I usually have mine about 9' back from the headlight. A friend says they should be over the centre of the the wheel but this is really too far back and makes them ineffective.

Mine are roughly in line with the ends of the front bumper and that feels, to me at least, about right

Thanks for all answers

I used clip on quarter light mirrors as couldnt take a drill to my wing! and also find they get in the way when working under the bonnet, ie dizy or manifold, carb area wiper motor etc....

[aupickup]

agree with paul on this one

Wherever you fit them make sure that you use convex glass mirrors, flat glass is useless
