Converting Jap Spec wing mirrors to UK spec
Hi all, looking to change out my Jap spec wing mirrors for uk/European wing mirrors. Is this just a straight swap?

My mirrors are non-electric.

Appreciate any advice.

It's a yes and no: yes the JDM mirrors will fit, but they are non-adjustable from the inside. You need to get out of your car to adjust the offside mirror or have a mate help you out. (or be near 2 meter or taller like I am Wink )

Thanks guys, just to confirm when the jap spec mirrors are removed. Do the UK spec mirrors just simply bolt in?

Yes, but you will need the inside backing plate as the JDM ones don't have the hole for the adjuster
