Need a door mirror

[groomvroom]

I need a complete offside door mirrof for a pre under mirror button Chim, an I right in thinking a Griff one will fit too, looks the same. I have done all the breakers, cant find a new unit either, any ideas?

It's a Citroen CX part.

Try Citroen dealers - CX I think?. Failing that Jaguar, though they may not carry much XJ220 stock!

They are becoming difficult to source, but alternatives are available like Clever Trevor.

Now they are nice! Had a price from a breaker today of £147 plus deliver for a second hand one, makes no sense to me if you can get these for £340 plus paint for a pair. I could also sell the good one as they seem to be so rare.

Good god, makes a second hand one at twice the price look daft! Thats the answere. cheers!

All done and ordered, I thought I had seen them on PX wheels, couldn’t find them again as are on another site. victormeldrew, I wish you hadn’t shown me the ones on Clever Trevor, they would look so nice on My Griff! Thanks to all for your help.

Bugger! too late

If you can face them, you can get a CX mirror from Halfords. Mine took a couple of days to order in & was about £9

I didn't fit it, but it looked the right shape

forget all that, being a muppet I thought it was glass only

Keep looking on fleabay for the Corrado ones... But having done the conversion, I would have no hesitation fitting any suitable mirrors, filling the cavity & fixing a mirror is prob easier than the TVR 'adapters'. Mini, MX5 and theres a new model supermini (cant remember which sorry) that look possibles. If you are going to fit alt mirrors it would seem to make sense to get ones that are widely available rather than an obscure model.

just my 2p

Just a thought, any one considered electrically folding mirrors ?
Every time I put my Chim away, I have to remember to fold back the nearside one before backing in. I then have to do likewise with the drivers to get out. So far both mirrors have survived.

XJ jags do that, must be few of those on the scappers by now to experiment with, cant remember what they look loke though.

Dont the new minis have electric folding or was it a mod that someone offered?
