Where\'d u get these mirrors?

[syebba]

 
Has anyone fitted the above mirrors on their rex & got rid of the cricket bats hanging off the doors?
Are they powered?
Lenses ok for uk,should be if u get mirrors from OZ?
Cost/visibility/availability,if u know let me know plz.

i have them on my car, they are electric and were fitted in the US and OZ, i imported 2 sets when i was putting my car together (i sold the other set on) you need the ones from Oz as the US ones are made for L/H drive, they dont fold in like the standard ones so bear that in mind

My mirrors are faded on the backs and look a bit scabby.
I tried getting one off once, those cross head screws are real tight.
Probably get another 5mpg with those mirrors fitted.

Oh last question,do they mount in the same position as cricket bats & the mounting holes line up,so no drilling?

yes defo give you another 5mph!  i think i got mine off the Ausrotary site obviously they are stock there so you shouldn\'t have a problem getting some, they may be some more pictures in my thread build up, i brough 2 sets from the same guy just incase a glass got broken

[syebba]

Yep mine are faded too,but even if they were\'nt i\'d still hate them.
Mazda designed the FB beautifully,then they must have rummaged through their parts bin for europe & said these will do.
You could tow caravans with our mirrors,they\'re so large you would,nt need extenders to see what ur towing!

Found some of these mirrors on ausrotary $30 each,G8,!!,but he aint interested in posting to uk.
They are leccy,mounting holes in same position,so no drilling.

Found out prices for the mirrors,you\'d really have to hate the stock ones to buy them,but i do!
Mazda
left £179.67 inc vat
right £133.68 inc vat
total £313.35 inc vat
 
These are leccy & bolt straight on,no drilling & bring the 0 > 60 sprint down to a remarkable 4 seconds without the stock air brakes hanging off the doors!
 
Mazdatrix in US do them as well @ $189.12 each,don\'t know if that inc vat,but there\'d be shipping & import duty on top of that.
 
Just finding out if the lenses are any different on US mirrors to those in OZ.

So how do these actually differ, LHD to RHD?
Is the difference in the bodies themselves or the lenses?
Are the lenses flat or concave / convex?

That\'s what i\'m trying to find out.
The mirror housings \'look\' the same,but i\'ve no idea about the lenses.
It\'s possible both the housings & lenses are different,US verses OZ.
Problem is i\'ve only got US part nos for mirrors so i\'ve asked mazda if there\'s any difference as once parts ordered,NO REFUND if there wrong[back ordered parts]
 
I  ordered wiper arms from mazdatrix for my 79 s1 i sold,they didnt fit,the arms are bent,handed differently,i got caught out on them!Went in the bin.
 
I\'ve given mazda uk the US part nos,a picture & asked them to source those mirrors but for OZ spec,so they\'ll be ok on our roads!
see if i get a reply,hmmm,could be a long wait.:Snoring

the arms are different you have to use Oz one\'s if you want to actualy use them!

[syebba]

ok cheers mark,i\'ll tell mazda that,don\'t suppose part nos are stamped on yours somewhere?Unlikely thats far too easy.

Were these mirrors standard in Japan also,they drive on the left with r/h drive cars?
