Front Indicators
There have been quite a few posts about extending bike style indicators.
Why is that? Just thought I'd put my mind at rest!
Mine seem comfortably outside the 500mm min distance stipulation and it seems you would need a very narrow nose-cone not to meet this.
Just curious

There is also a 400mm maximum from the widest part of the car. Probably the rear wings.

It the "within 400mm of the widest part of the body" that gets them.
The rear wings are usually the widest part of the body so most of them are outside th 400mm.

I had to extend mine (forwards in my case) so that they were visible from the front (ie so the offside indicator would be visible at a T-junction to a
car coming from the nearside)- as it was they were obscured by the nosecone. I suspect sometimes people extend them sideways to help this visibility
problem.
