If you hunt through Google, you can find other mirrors similar to Clearview Mirrors a lot cheaper. The problem is they seem to mostly be in America and you have to work out the equivalent model to suit your Aussie car.

Thanks troopy,

If the cost is O/T we may have to ask a favour. Do you still have your CPL or PPL.

Steve,

I contacted Ware Auto, as I have a 105 series poverty pack.

I asked if they would fit, as I have the manual mirrors, and if not could they be returned. Daniel didn't know if they would fit, and said to ask Clearview, as they wouldn't tell him due to him selling these mirrors. He did say if they didn't fit, I wouldn't get a refund as I would have bought them for a different fitment (105 series) than he had advertised them for. Don't know how he works that out as 105 is part of the 100 series.. It sounds like they may be the same as Clearviews, or could perhaps be seconds from the factory in China.

I also asked what warranty he gave with them, in 2 eMails, and he has avoided answering that question. I suspect the warranty covers them until they are delivered to Australia Post to send to you!

They sound like they should fit, but in my opinion this is a very real case of buyer beware, as I can see if there are any issues (and Clearview mirrors do have issues), you will probably be on your own.
