How much are you asking for the Monaro one?
Unfortunately it's £44 delivered. The cost price of getting it here was £41.36

No problem. I'll leave it for a week, then sling it on e-bay.

I'm going to assume no, but you don't still have that Monaro driver's mirror do you?

I'm about to dive into this as well. While I have an addon wide angle mirror, it's the size of a postage stamp, and it's quite hard to get into the habit of looking at it AND the main mirror (4 months practise) rather than just the main mirror (23 years practise).


So if there are still any over here, great, else I'll investigate some Aussie contacts I have to see if there are any UK holidays coming up in their schedule smile

No, all are gone - Monaro and VXR8. I won't get any more Monaro ones either, as there were a few internal breakages, when the old mirrors were being removed. I think the plastics are starting to get brittle, after at least 5 years.

I don't think they will sell you one in Australia, as they have a 'true' reflection in the drivers mirror due to legislation. You will probably have to get one from the US, though ironically the mirrors are made in Oz. rolleyes

Oh balls. Oh well, no matter: plenty of mules at my company's US office. When I dig out the part no again, I'll see if I can find a willing pack horse.

Yes, that's the one. Same part number as the last group buy that I arranged.

Might even still have a spare one left over somewhere.
