Default Wing mounted side repeaters

DO you have to have these little side repeaters mounted in the wings?

You dont HAVE to, but in order to pass the visibilitly guidlines for iva its one of the best places for them

Alternatively you could mount them on the outer edge of your wing mirrors

The problem is carl that you have to be able to see them a 5deg angle from behind and the rear wing gets in the way if you're too low. If you can mount them high enough, on the scuttle or mirrors then that will be okay. They used to ignore it for 7 style cars but not anymore.

mine are on the scuttle and passed iva on the scuttle. you just need to mount them high enough so they can be seen from behind the rear arches. Adrian unknowingly put his indicators in the side panels which is why he ended up having extra marker on the rear arches as he didn't want a hole in his side panel.

So a small pair in the nose cone and some like ash on the scuttle "should" eliminate the need for indicators in the wings
