Just added Extending mirrors to my BT50 XTR.
Great, should have done it before my recent big trip.
No more jittering rear view images past the sides of the Panda.

Model built for and easily installs to all BT50 from 2012 models onwards, Black, Chrome and indicators if your Beast has indicators already.

I'm sorry @cruza driver and @relgate , but i thought a GT had leather seats. When i look inside that so called GT of reglate all i see is Gandpa spec sheepskin covers :eek-53:.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but why buy a GT when you can't enjoy a sweaty ass crack on a hot day that true GT owners love;)
Lol!
You mentioned you wanted a drive so I had to do something to protect the leather!

Awesome. Did you manage to get the electrics working? Easy install?

Very easy install and yes, mirrors work from the original switch.
Also met up with 3 other beast owners on the road who had installed them themselves, ClearView supply an online video showing how to do it for BT50s and also supply all the non standard drivers with the kit.
When I ordered mine at the Caravan & Camping Sale at the Adelaide Showgrounds a few weeks ago, the local supplier had a deal going, 'Buy Now, Free Install', how could I resist. Only took them 45 mins to do both mirrors.
I have looked at the video as I thought I would be doing it myself, easy to follow and if it wasn't for the 'Free' offer, would have done so.

Mine were a free install and would only let me look in from the car park when they fitted them.
Finished product?
This is the best I could do, it's cold and wet outside ATM

About 50mm wide than old mirrors when 'IN' but still means have to fold them in to get into the garage.
When out and extended, extend 100mm out from 'Normal' position.

The ClearView Mirrors have the upper section, flat (real size) that are controlled by the actuators and a bottom convex mirror that gives a wide view (objects are nearer than they appear) that are manually set. Give a great view of van from wheels to roof and the whole width of the road.
In the short time I have used them (BT50 is not my day to day drive, have wife's Mazda Maxx for that) they give a great large clear view around the van, much better than normal mirrors and infinitely better than the jittering extension mirrors I have been using.

Just looked at the site and YES!!!!! They do them for the 120 Prado.
Showed the "Boss" and when I scrolled down to the price she muttered something along the lines of "No F'ing way..... You can continue to fit the extended mirrors for now!!!" :ballchain::rant:And still looking for that "Thumbprint on the forehead smilie" :doh:
