Wolf Mirror Arms
Anyone on here use Wolf mirror arms on their Defender for towing a caravan ?

Pictures would be good of anyones fitted to see what they look like. Very Happy I was thinking of fitting a set to my 130 with the new Mud UK mirror heads.

I have a pair mounted in mine for almost 4 years.

In "closed position"

In "open position"

You can see the pictures in my gallery...

Just an advice: beware with the "open position" in wind guts. The pair that I have tend to flip to the "closed position" (but that happens when you are driving at 100 KPH and have the 80 KPH wind in front)


Cheers! Eduardo

I have a set of genuine Land Rover wolf arms fitted with large mirror heads, don't bother with cheap look alkies' they fall apart within months . Don't make old people mad.
We don't like being old in the first place,
so it doesn't take much to Censored us off.

In 2013, I had ordered some aftermarket non-original fake Wolf mirror arms. They were blown blown back against the window from 80 km/h. I bought some big bolts and bolted them through, which kept them in place for the journey but of course they were ruined. Back home I ordered the original ones, and never had any problem. I can move them as I like.
To get a rough idea, look at my youtube video, from time index 7:36

I've had mine fitted for about eight years. Folded in for normal use and out for towing.

I've used them for several years and find them completely satisfactory. Personally I don't think they look "ridiculous"!

I have a set in my cubby box, been there for 5 years after I bought them at a show. It's a shame they can't be swapped more easily. I might fit mine when I swap the doors...eventually www.td5.org

Why thank you sir! You're actually the first person to say that (honestly, I kid you not)!

I like it, it does what I want. Thumbs Up
