Definitely an Accord I think (may have also been shared on other Hondas of a similar vintage?).

I'm hoping it will fit a 05-09 Mustang so I can get rid of the fixed solid Ford ones biggrin

Doesn't look like it's a common swap after a quick Google.

In the photo of the accord, there looks to be a bigger gap between the window and the mirror than it is on the Mustang, so it looks to me like they used the mirror but kept the ford baseplate.

I could be wrong though, I usually am.

It isn't a common swap anywhere other than Japan, no one sells after market folding mirrors so struggling to find a decent match or as close as to retro fit

I can't quote the message that David87 posted, as apparently that constitutes me posting an external link due to the picture, which is forbidden within my first two weeks of posting, but that Honda looks bloody brilliant to these eyes - near 20 years old and a humdrum hatch, but fantastic all the same.

PS, who coded these forums, my grandad? (Died 2004).
