Good Evening

It's been a while since posting. I saw a recent You Tube video (says Mark II but it is Mark III) and two things caught my eye. The external mirrors are attached to the front qtr vent area. Looking in the 'option' in the catalogue it lists 605627 as Exterior Driving 'Solar' Mirror . Not sure if this is it as no image. Has anyone heard of this? I quite like the idea as the over arch mirror keep getting knocked.

Also the intro as a separate question - the front middle divider comes with a recess. Looks handy. Was this a retro fit or is mine just missing it?

You can see both these bits in the video

Many thanks on any help.

Cheers

Paris

Nice car but its clearly had at least new wings and a respray as the bonnet panel/wing gap is not even. What front middle divider? Do you mean the tunnel cover? All Mk2 and Mk3s had this and it is almost impossible to reproduce as Rover made it
