Bonnet mounted wing mirrors?

[laam999]

I've been thinking a bit about my project car and a few classics I like and I have decided I think wing mirrors mounted on the front of a cars bonnet loo REALLY good. I know they're not on cars now likely due to some health and saftey thing but I'm thinking about fitting some (or trying) to my MR2, I even think they would look good on my C2.

I'm just wondering what they don't seem more popular, I mean they would basically eliminate blindspots right? Maybe fellows PHs disagree with me but I link loads of modern cars would look just that little but better with a few wing mirror alterations, for example a BMini with a couple of round ones just near the side of the headlamps would looks loads more classy (all IMO)

here is a 240z to kinda show what I mean

I REALLY think it looks better.

I'm sure not ALL cars will look better I mean I think no modern Audis will off the top of my head, but I think most EuroBoxes, German saloons and most Jap cars would look a tad if not more better.

Anyway just thought I'd share

fair point about the vibrations, I never thought of that and I geussed they would be small but not so small you'd see nothing, modern cars are just so big (bikes may be a problem)

And I assume you spend an age adjusting when you first fit them and then not let other people drive your car? That was my plan at least :P

You still have to admit they look good. Maybe not a "true" PH thing to say but I want a car I enjoy to look like I want it to, that's the main reason I got a mk1 MR2, slow but looks great and it's supposed to gokart-esque in handling, sounds like fun times to me.
