Came across a bit I hadb't seen before in the SVA Draft manual. It's in Section 10.3, I don't have 10. or 10.2 so not sure how relevant it is.

10.3.c in the case of external mirrors mounted on the nearside or offside of the vehicle, that they,
#are capable of rotating inwards towards the vehicle when a force of 10kg is applied horizontally at the extreme outer edge from both the front and the rear.
#have an axis of rotation to be within 50mm of the vehicle surface to which they are mounted.

But then a little further down it states

Note: This criteria (item c) does not apply to a mirror

#every part of which is at least 2m above the ground
#which does not protrude beyond the extreme outer edge of the vehicle (discounting the mirrors)

My problem might be that my mirrors do not fold, but neither are they outside the lines of the vehicle if you discount the mirrirs if you include the mirrors they are about 10mm outside. To make matters slightly worse if i have to change them I'll need side repaters as well.
