But as a rough guide only, the wing mirrors on my saloon are 240mm from the wing front (behind the headlamp bezel) and 110mm out from the bonnet/wing "gap*
Sit in the car and get an assistant to hold the mirrors in position for best view. Note positions. Use masking tape where the holes are to be and start off with a small pilot hole. Paint the bare steel immediately after drilling and don't forget to treat the underside.
Hope that helps.
ps does anyone know why the "quotes" don't work for me? Always used to but not done for a while now.

Seconded - I find the wing mirrors are only any use as ornaments - but maybe that's what you want, or maybe you find them useful.
