JDM Fender mirror

[SlowPro48]

I would highly recommend you duct tape those things on temporarily and drive around for a few days before drilling the holes. Fender mirrors are aggrevating enough during the day but on a curvy road at night with another car following you they're downright dangerous.

My VX is a RHD model. A JDM. it has that fender mirror.

My experience: It helps checking blind spots during off-roading. Just to save the car from falling off down the cliff...from the left side. Another function is that the driver can always check it (the mirror will show the left tyres and the white-line paint on raod) during driving to make sure the left wheel is not crossing the next lane (esp on highly compact cities like Tokyo and Hongkong where roads are narrow traffic is busy). Pretty helpful. In Japan, it is almost a standard (not option) equipment on all new models of offroad cars. The little mirror really furnishes both the function and style aspect of offroading.

Funny is, that little device is rarely since on most of the LHD models of Offroad cars, not just VX. I think it is some vehicle/transport regulations/laws to stop those makes from providing this device.

I'd love to get a black original. Any ideas?

I don't really like those and I can get a fender mirror from a JDM VX for about $80

There are no practical applications for the JDM mirror for a LHD vehicle. The mirror is required on the Japanese market so the driver can see the curb while parallel parking (it points down!).

I used to love the stock fender mirrors on my Bugeye Sprite - once you get used to them you'll wonder how you ever got by without - of course with stock fender mirrors there aren't any on the doors.

They are not specific to the vx, but have a look at this:

Scroll down and you will see drivers side mirrors (US passenger side) in both black and black and chrome for about $10. They are not Pajero specific and will fit to any flatish surface. I have a pair myself.

I'm not sure if they ship abroad, but if not I'll happily buy and ship to you if you can pay me by paypal.
