TVR S-Series Rear View Mirror?

[greyhulk]

Hi, im completely missing the rear view mirror on my TVR S1, ive had a look at an alternate parts list & some people are saying rover 200, 400 others say peugeot 205.
If someone could let me know which they have in there TVR & where i could get one from i would really appreciate it.
Also ive read about changing the wing mirrors completely? i have these horrible ribbed ones which i guess are the original but ones been replaced with some sort of blue glass on the passenger side looks atrocious..

thanks in advance

Take the opportunity to fit an MG TF rear view mirrow. Has integrated courtosey / map lights. Simple wiring into the existing interior light. Vast improvement. £20 should get you a decent one including mounting block off ebay.
Shame they're not auto dimming too - these are available but £80+ quid.

hi, think i read somewhere on here before that you had fitted one of these to your TVR, did you take any snaps of it by any chance?

Pug 205 is the original mirror as far as I know, and fairly cheap on ebay.

thanks, i just ebay'd some around £18 i found to be the cheapest, was thinking a cream colour rear view mirror would look good against the cream interior in my car but im definitely envying mk1fan's MG TF mirror now!

@v8s4me not sure if the audi ones would look to modern, i bet there a pain to fit too. Im with you on the citreon cx mirrors they do go the best with these TVR's by far! cant see any on ebay what so ever tho.

Nice one mate, damn there pricey! Think I'll try a salvage yard instead

I've used Fiesta - they look small on a Fiesta and huge on the S - but nicely curved too.

If doing again I'd choose the Audi A3

They look sweet! I haven't got electric ones, think my wish list just got bigger.. Upgrade from manual to electric windows, rear view mirror & wing mirrors!

I'd like to know what bracket to use to fit the MG windscreen rear view mirror. All of the mirrors on fleabay come without this.

Thinking the same thing mate! Virtually every rear view mirror I looked at didn't come with the damn mounting bracket
