mirrors for IVA compliance
stevegough - 9/10/10 at 11:21 AM

I have bought two sets of mirrors for the IVA, the first I wasn't happy with the poor quality, sent them back, replacing them with the "IVA OK as fitted to caterham" one CBS sells.

In trying to fit these (which have a long base) I can't get them high enough to see over the rear arches.

So - I need some more that will - anyone got a set or any ideas which one I can try for 3rd time lucky??

I have bought these , yet to fit them though so not sure what they'll be like but i know from doing a search on here that many people have used them and passed IVA not cheap though but do look good!!

Thanks, nice corrado, BTW! They look perfect, but as you say - not cheap at £100 a pair?

Never crossed my mind, boggle but looking on ebay following your comment, it might have been the way to go.

Last night I ordered a pair of the ones Corrado suggested - he found a site selling them much cheaper, but thanks for your input.

An update to the above post,

I ordered the mirrors from the website above on the 10th oct. I got an immediate acknowledgement email.

I rang them a few days later - we were going out and I didn't want to miss them. He said they came from China and they had 'just cleared customs' and should arrive any day.

I wrote to them again on the 18th. and this was his reply:

"wish I could answer that.

this is how the importing freight companies work, when we ring them up, we stay on hold for ages and they say it is being processed and then they say the words of 'I am sure you can appreiciate, your pallet is amongst thousands coming from the containers and we cannot trace it right now'

i will keep you up to date.

thanks.

I'm still waiting.
NOT GOOD PEOPLE TO BUY FROM.

Well, the mirrors finally arrived, and he emailed me to ask if I still wanted to place the order?

They came 2 days later and are excellent!

Now, what do I cover the 90 degree edges with for compliance?

Any Ideas, anyone, please?
