the breakers near me charge £25 for a new wing mirror, so go to a breakers and odds are you'll be able to find one in the same colour too.

I need it sorted before the end of the month as I need to drive from Manchester to Devon on holiday too, so time isn't on my side. Would need a second hand black one, or a new one painted.

scrappers or gsf, any colour doesn't matter. sort it out when you have time. save yourself a fortune.

I'm looking on eBay, thing is I need a mirror that's motorised, and has the heater element, and blue mirror.  It's tough because you can't tell just from the pictures :(

Yeah have sent a couple off, see what happens.  Shame all the cars they're breaking are blue and silver, says a lot  :wink:

Btw, here's a few snaps of the damage.

Entire thing is ruined.  Don't have any idea how hard it's going to be replacing the metal bracket.  I know I need to dismantle a large amount of the door.


They took all of the hub cap things.


Half considering just ordering these.
