Seems to be a wide choice of mirrors for sale,but not all very SVA friendly as i saw at Stoneleigh.
Whats out there?

I got a pair from Lolocost, £18 each. They advertise them as SVA friendly... which is probably correct!

In the pictures they looked a bit plastic & cheesy, but in real life they're OK. They're big enough, have a nice rim covering the glass edge, no sharp edges and made of some metal alloy painted black. Genrally quite solid.

I suggest that you have a look at some if you go to Newark.

cheers,

David

Thanks dave,i've had a look at the lolocost mirrors and sure enough they are OK.
Just wanted to get a few more options,i hate making a purchase and then seeing something better a week later.

I ahve a apair of these mirrors on my car. They were noted as a fail as the fole in the arm where it bolts on to the stalk is classed as a sharp edge. Fill it with silicon and it should pass.

I was recently looking at mirrors in a motorbike spares catalog, they do some universal carbon effect ones for fairing mounting for about £20 a pair.they are much cheaper than the ones listed by europa and Demon thieves etc and i would assume they will be e marked and SVA friendly. Honda CBR 600 mirrors look good and are £30 a pair, i will be visiting a bike dealer when it comes to getting mirrors for my car.
I also noticed some reasonable mirrors in halfords recently which might be worth considering.

Bob, the guys at Lolocost go on holiday tomorrow for 2 weeks. . .

For info, the SVA manual section 10.2 says that all mirrors should be 'E' or 'e' marked and interior ones should be class I and exterior ones should be class III
