"Unless the law has changed recently, tis illegal to have a protusion beyond 150mm from the body of the vehicle."
Wrong! the following is from Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 14/02 –Rear Vision Mirrors) 2006:
"4.2. At least one such mirror shall be affixed to each side of the vehicle and
may project 150 mm beyond the point of ‘Overall Width’ of the vehicle
or the ‘Overall Width’ of any trailer it may be drawing- "
and for those with folding mirrors
"4.3. The mirrors may project 230 mm on each side beyond the point of
‘Overall Width’ of the vehicle provided that the mirror is capable of
collapsing to 150 mm. "
In other words, don't look at how far they project from the side of the door. Open the front door windows and measure the overall width of the mirrors. Compare that with the overall width measurement given in the specifications in the vehicle handbook. I am sure that in every case the Clearview mirrors will comply with the bits that I copied from ADR-14.
