Well thats pretty simple, just tell your wife, there'll be no beauty palour for next 8 weeks, I'm sure you'll get plenty of comments with-out our help.
Reminds me when I asked my wife to moan during sex, so she said
The back verandah roof leaks, the carpets are damp, theres a hole in the flyscreen, your parents are coming tomorrow, the cats pregnant moan moan moan

Dude!
Thats Funny - ROFLMAO x 1000.
Back to the subject at hand however, I can't for the life of me work out why people seek others comments re things they want or want to do.
Just do it or buy it and enjoy it as the experience unfolds.

Thanks Tony. The Clearview mirrors for the Navara must be available soon. Clearview responded to my enquiry by asking If I was interested in supplying my vehicle to demonstrate their mirrors at the recent
Perth Caravan show. Good deal but unfortunately on the opposite side of the country.

I also have Clearview mirrors on my 200 and they are great. Expensive but far better than any other mirror I have tried.
I love the flat glass. The view in the internal mirror or outside mirrors is the same without convex view. The original mirrors had three different convex view.
The extension bit works fine and they are very stable with passing traffic.
I am happy with the purchase.
Alan

Thanks Alan, I was told at the Melb Caravan show that the attachment mount for the Navara is based on the 200 model.
Cheers,
Ian

I have a pair of expensive mirrors attached to the bullbar of my troopy.
I got the from Maytow in south australia. They are the consetina type, unfortunatley they were pretty useless as they vibrated too much.
What I do now is pull them out a bit to look as though they are being used. I then rely on the rear view camera and my normal side mirrors. I have checked for blind spots and don't seem to have any.
I know what I am doing is not legal, but it works and I can see what's happening behind me.
