Where do I get one of these door mirrors from ?

Post by cheshiremorris »

Ive removed a tatty plastic door mirror from my minor today I think it may have come off a metro or something similar, Im now left with 3 holes so I want to find a mirror that will go in its place. All I can find is ones that go on the quarter light or ones that go on the wing. Its a round one I fancy and the fitting on the door looks diamond shaped on this picture . I got this picture off a car currently for sale on ebay, I have mailed them but its possible its been on for ages and Im looking for a current supplier , could anyone help Ive tried Bull and Esm they dont have what Im looking for

Thanks guys yes thats the one , not sure why they are more expensive than this one

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170363909589? ... EBIDX%3AIT which is a pair


One seems to have 1 bolt fixing and the other has 2 , am I right in thinking the angle on the second one makes it more suitable for a horizontal plane ie wing as opposed to door which is nearly vertical ?

Hi,
You also want to look out for 'convex' glass ones which offer a much better rear view that the cheaper 'flat' glass ones.
The links to the adverts on eBay below may explain it better than I can.
Best wishes,
Mike.

Don't know if you got your mirrors but there are some chrome round ones on ebay, the base is long to cover the holes but the arms look short, 99p start . This is the item no, pop it in the search line, 291122246065. Sorry, dont know how to do a link from phone.
