    may vary state to state. you can have them on, (i did it in a 200B SSS) but for RWC i had to have door mirrors. Looked goofy with 4 mirrors.

    The factory 200B fenders had the holes in them. Datsun Aust, glued covers over the holes!

    I doubt fender mirrors are legal anywhere in Australia. I think the issue is pedestrian safety if they get hit and flung over the bonnet. I could be wrong. The other issue would be not providing good enough rearward vision. But I get away with having them once the cars inspected. The whole fender mirror issue goes back to the 70's when most cops were still being born.

    ^^^like being hit by a ke70 isnt gonna hurt enough...watch out for those fender mirrors...they're deadly....

    man love the laws they make

    ive always been intrigued with fender mirrors, they look cool and all, but damn they must suck to actually look at anything!!

    i can't imagine you can see anything in them when its raining!!!!

    or even worse driving at night in rain....

    or even driving at night.....

    especially those little round ones (the cone shaped ones, sometimes chromed..ive seen some black ones i think), the big massive square ones might be ok i spose
