Door Mirror 'Toadstall Trim' - Desperately Wanted!

[jay-kay-em]

Evenin' all!

I am trying to find a replacement door mirror part. For want of a better description, it's the plastic ring that slides up/down over the 'toadstall' to reveal the 'grub-screw-of-death'.

Not only is mine broken, but there must be 5mm missing from its circumference which means if I was to glue it together, its diameter would be smaller. I guess its someone else's efforts to reach said grubscrew.





I have tried all the breakers yards with no joy, Citroen too. Even if they did have one, many have said they keep bits from broken mirrors to make good mirrors. I could of course buy one of these 'good mirrors' for £100+, dismantle it and try to sell it again on ebay, but thought I would try here first.

Hopefully there is one at the bottom of someones tool box. Top money paid!

Regards, Jay.

I appreciate your help but thats a Corrado mirror. I'm talking about the earlier Citroen CX type.

got an intact one here

Can I borrow that. Indefinitely.

Thanks for your help guys, 90 euros is a bit steep for what it is.

Plenty of food for thought there. I have until the spring to decide a course of action and of course check eBay daily.

OK I spoke to TVR Heritage Parts, an amalgamation of Racing Green, Clever Trevor (bought by Racing Green) and ? (I can't remember). They've been licensed by the new TVR. They don't have any of these collars apart from one or two on gutted manual Citroen wing mirrors - but these will be expensive. Demand has not been high for the collars but if enough people rang them they might prioritise sourcing them. Alternatively they might be interested in buying a batch, if the price was right. Not really that much help I'm afraid. Pete

Thanks - i'll give them a ring. I have already looked at the website and enrolled for my TVRCC discount.
