The fact they are not standard on a HSV is ridiculous....

Let us know how you go Homer. I'm interested to see if they'll fit up or if further wiring is required.

I think they are standard on the senator.

Probably Hsv assumes that clubbys and r8 will be used more for track days and such, so they are stripped of any luxury items (park assist, memory seats and mirrors, puddle lamps, extendable door pockets, rear seat DVD player, etc.)

Heck, they were too cheap to fit LSD on the v8 luxury models such as berlina, Calais, statesman and caprice :(

I did check the prices for the mirrors and were approx $260 each and prob looking at alot of work pulling things apart getting the wires connected auto elec i went to said approx $400 labour but he had never done what i want before on my car so thinking im going to give it a miss prob cost nearly 1k just to do it but if anyone else does it would be interested how it was done
Cheers

I was thinking the mirrors with just the heater rather than the puddle lamps. They're about 160 each but still a lot of money once you include wiring and time spent fitting it.

Guess I'll just go without since it's not the straight swap I'd hoped for.

Just didnt like someone pulling things apart just incase not put back properly since im sure alot have never done it before.

Maybe just have a water bottle on hand in the boot for the foggy days
