Aaargh! Sorting the car out today for the weekend, and I adjusted the mirror - well, tried to - it came off in my hand!

It has basically left the metal 'bracket' bonded to the screen (has two grooves in it) and the mirror plastic itself has broken, one of the runners has snapped off.

Has anyone got a spare or just the plastic housing that surrounds the mirror stalk itself? Alternatively, know where I can get one at fairly short notice?

TIA!

Does anyone know if this is the one I'm after? The pic isn't too clear but I don't know if there was a difference between the 'standard' 205 and the GTI variants - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/PEUGEOT-205-GTI

Hi Sean

Can't help a great deal except to tell you that mine came from a NON-gti 205 from a scrappy

Good luck

Without seeing the rear I couldnt tell. Mine has a the ball joint at the rear of the mirror. The bit that it clips into that is attached to the window is quite long and angled to come away from the mirror. Can you ask them for pics of the rear?

Mine couldbe of something else though as I have had a whole new screen put in and they may have used another type like what ever they found on the workshop floor at the time nuts

Thanks for the replies guys, I called in to my Local Pug dealer and they actually had one in stock, if a little dusty!
Anyway, it needed a little modification but it's on with little hassle - and for reference the mirror was the same throughout the 205 range so the eBay GTI one should be fine if anyone else needs one.
