That's not the same as my Chim mirror


Of course not... you've picked the one photo of a different style mirror on one version of the CX... look at any of the pics above it and it is the same as a chimaera one..

Sorry to hear about the scumbags.

Might be worth checking with TVR, as the stalk post is so I am told only @£8 which was a lot cheaper than I was expecting ( I repaired mine before finding out cost), normally kept in stock, (well it was at Mole Valley Redhill don't know about the part you need though).

You could try Douglas Valley Breakers
Tel 01257 472866
or e-mail steve.s@misltd.co.uk, but they might only want to supply a complete mirror.





HHC had seven of them on the shelf when I needed one, I'd suggest just taking the TVR parts dept. route, afterall Douglas Valley will only sell you a Secondhand one afterall..




EditeD to add !!! 5000th Post !!!

same thing happened to the griff over the summer. Some little tosspot kicked mine off and broke the 3 pronged aluminium (?) stalk inside. Got it replaced / fixed by an independent for about £50 I think.

Mine caused a bloody great scratch on the passenger door too. Grrrr!

If you catch the little s*d, let me know - cos I'd like to come round and give him an almighty shoeing.

£50 would be about right I suppose... you can easily do the job yourself but it is a bit fiddly dealing with the electrics through the speaker hole in the door and also ensuring that the mirror is tight at the right angle to the car body. Once you've paid £8 for the part, and added an hours labour at say £35, then added VAT, you're at the £50 mark.
Cheers

Same thing just happened to mine except it was age fatigue rather than a boot that was its final demise.

Keridges keep these in stock for around £12.
