Door / Wing Mirrors - BobbyG
It just dawned on me today that the mirrors on my Scenic are actually mounted on the car body as opposed to on the door. Having a look around the car park today I couldn't see any other cars like this - they all seem to be door mounted.

Anyone know of any modern cars other than Scenic that have them body mounted?


[You can tell I sit in the car while SWMBO goes into the shops]

I noticed an AWD yesterday (couldn't see which) that had door mirrors and the traditional wing mirrors. They looked standard, not extras.

Modus.
Don't know of any non-Renaults though.

They will have been downwards pointing ones I would assume, for checking on whereabouts the front wheels are (since the huge nose means you can't see)

Come on Bazza, no need to bring Cliff's nose into it.

(Sorry - couldn't help it)

A lot of the grey import 4x4's have these.

Wing mirrors are still popular in Japan.

Honda Jazz and Morris Marina. Though I doubt the former will fall off as the door rusts.

From the Jazz's I've seen the mirrors are mounted on the door.

TT's are on the door as well.


One that springs to mind is the Peugeot 1007 - presumably because of the slidy door thing. The mirror is under the front quarterlight which stays on the body as the door slides.
