Think all I need to do this winter is to replace my drivers side electric door mirror - which on the face of it seems quite simple...
...except that I've just tried to find a new replacement online and unpainted and without the actual glass mirror is close on £400!
Unless you guys know where I could source a more cost effective replacement?
And before you ask, there's not really anything on the knackered one that can be re-used (apart from maybe the glass mirror bit).
It has been rather cunningly 'made to look un-damaged' by someone following a historic knock with the use of glue, parcel tape and touch up paint - the wabbling rear view gave things away a bit though so I thought I'd try and do a proper job on it
