New bigger side view mirrors

Hi guys, can anyone give me his expert advice on whether I can fit Tata indigo's orvm on Logan. I always feel down to see these orvms of Logan. If anyone has already tried please let me know.

'I always feel down to see these orvms of Logan.'
You mean you don't get a good view?

No rajesh, its not that I got a good view. I don't have any problem with viewing the rear side through them. The thing is that I don't like the symmetrical rounded shapes of the mirrors. I like the indigo ones much better.

Well I suppose the Indigo ones will not fit. Just because their fitment would be different (indigo's door shapes are a little more angular and curvy) but maybe you can try the after market ones. Or wait for the new look logan to come out (it has better looking and more functional ORVMs)

The aftermarket ones are not yet available. So let's wait for the new look Logan to come here.

No Buddy we r talking of the new model launched in Romania by Dacia. Its not very soon that we can expect that to be in India and even if its here it will cost atleast 1 lakh more that the existing models. For the time being what I will do is put black vinyl stickers around the orvms, that will uplift its image a bit I am sure.

I find them a little boring too..
Yearning for aftermarket ones. I want to buy those with side indicator lights...

Yes Saumil, indicators will make it more exciting. But if they are not available, atleast partly chrome and partly fibre like the ones in Indigo will do.

I spoke one vendor today but sadly they dont have mirror covers for the Logan. AS per what they say, the mirrors in the logan are very small to fit lights in them?? Didnt quite understand but thats the situation as of now...

Thats not at all logical Saumil. I myself saw some trianular lights that can be fitted on the Logan mirrors. That was in a car accessories shop in kOlkata. Those lights are blue and are flexible and so can easily be fittetd on the mirrors as the shopkeeper told me. The shape of those lights are like the one that now comes in Honda Civic

Exactly wat i said, Didnt really understand...

I would prefer painting the OVRM than add an indicator to the existing setup. Adding any lights would involve tampering the existing wiring.

I was talking about the painted ones with light brother..
a litttle wiring would be required but i doubt any tampering would be needed..

That 'little' wiring and connecting it to the existing wiring is what I am talking about. You are adding something for which there is no provision in the existing wiring setup.

Hmm, That will then apply to many addons like fog lamps for DLE and other versions that dont have them, I am also thinking of adding light in the Trunk and also in the bonnet. All these will need wiring which obviously isnt existing...

You don't have to worry about the fog lamps as the service center will do that job. The provision is there on the existing stalk. They have to just use the original wiring kit. Anything which is not offered in the topend either as standard or as accessories will lead to tampering. For eg., I fixed the spoiler and though done at the service center, he had to peel the wire leading to the trunk light. Same is the case with audio headunit. If you buy BLAUPUNKT then it can be just plugged in but if it is some other brand then they'll have to peel the wires and connect.

There may be some exceptions here and there though.

I will go now and have a look in my trunk I will show you where it is fitted (the light)

and you may find the wires very near cos most of the wires exist thats the cheap way for the logan to be fitted out with its extras

Getting the trunk light shouldn't be a problem as with fog lamps but I am not sure about the bonnet light.

Here is the place for the lamp its directly in the middle of the entrance to the boot .Have a feel around I bet the cables are there .Mine works with the interior lights and it goes on and off with them
Stu

I'll check that!!
BTW Martin, you are just one post behind Ashutosh( No.2 Poster )

I Know

This should push me ahead now haha
I sprayed My Mirror with perfume and it stopped the hungry Marder he hasnt been back .I was getting worried that he would eat the timing belt .That would have a been a dear meal haha

Hmm!
We have a similar problem here with rats! Solution shown here is some wax spray. The wax coats every wire,belt and engine with some kinda waxy solution which leaves some scentwhich the rats/cockroaches dont like so they dont come back. It, they say, lasts for a year!!
Costing about Rs. 1000 odd..

Another home made solution i have heard about is, Tobacco (widely available here), wetted and put in some corner or sprinkled under the bonnet, will drive away these menaces...
