They also make these for the Patrol at $450, similar to Clear View but a bit more realistically priced. Can't find the Patrol ones on the site at the moment but they do (did) have them.

That's still about $340USD. I could buy 2 sets over there for that price..

I saw this thread, and knowing one of my workmates fitted extended mirrors of some sort to his Prado for caravan purposes. And asked him what they were so that I could perhaps post it here.
Then I realized he removed them.
They are/were Clearview but he got a defect on them due to protruding a certain distance from furthest point of body panels.
Ironically and funnily enough he got done in Mansfield on Australia day lol.

As for MRs pics that could be an easy build using some 25mm x 12mm aluminium.
Very easy IMHO.
so I take it Clear view are not ADR approved at $700-$800 a pair plus a fine.
@Hodge would that mean any mirror sticking out more than OE is illegal.
Do they sell ext mirrors with a warning >>> they have been around for
years

My Clearview mirrors had a stamp stating they were ADR approved. Just because some idiot books you doesn't mean he is correct. Talk to Clearview and if your mate is in the right - tell him to take it to court. How could he lose? Most plods out there are good people - but as with any group you have your know-it-all boof heads who take pleasure in giving people a hard time - knowing that most would be too afraid to do anything about it.

I am he, fear me
The Clearview ADR statement doesn't mean squat unless it states which ADR's it complies too as there are several ADR's for Mirrors
As for how far out the mirror can project...
ADR 14/00 states for an MA vehicle (passenger car)
14.2.3.1.2. Mounting - The mirror mounting shall provide a stable support for the mirror and neither the mirror nor the mounting shall protrude further than the widest part of the vehicle body except to the extent necessary to produce a field of view meeting the requirements of Clause 14.2.3.1.1.
As a point of interest Truck Mirrors were once limited to max of 150mm past widest part of vehicle or trailer by the same ADR
Sooo... if your mirror is further out than 150mm (yes, I know that is the truck spec and not the car) I would suggest that Mr Plod will use that as a guide and be 'interested' and you may (rightly or wrongly) get defected.
