RE: wingmirrors aftermarket ? lrx style
Was the LRX "mirror" a mirror or a mounting for a rear view camera?

RE: wingmirrors aftermarket ? lrx style

RE: wingmirrors aftermarket ? lrx style
Sure I read on here once upon a time that the mirrors had to be a certain size to meet regulations based on the size of the car...no idea if there is any truth in it but I must say that given the awesome design of the Evoque, it does seem somewhat curious that they would put such big mirrors on unless they had no choice!
Evoque Coupe 2.2 SD4 Dynamic LUX 190HP (in some kind of grey!)

RE: wingmirrors aftermarket ? lrx style
^^ is true, and was stated way back at the launch when comments were made about the mirrors.
LR we're keen to point out that their hand was forced in the size of them.
Ordered: Fuji Dynamic Lux Coupe / style 7 wheels / Privacy glass / adaptive xenons / something else which I've forgotton.
Should be end of April (was March, then April, then end of May/June).
Collected, Friday 13th April 2012

Someone might know whether the size of wing mirror a vehicle in the EU must be *sold with* is also the size that legally has to remain on the vehicle.

RE: wingmirrors aftermarket ? lrx style
you would have 3 years use in the UK before you found out at the MOT if you fitted a smaller set to a new car!

The size is not required in the states. I wish we had our own spec for the mirrors!
