Foolishly managed to knock off the rear view mirror in my 05 Tam whilst cleaning the inside windscreen. Really annoyed with myself. Anyway, can anyone tell me where these may have come from (Ford, Vauxhall etc)?

Cheers.

I think a lot of the TVR mirrors were Peugeot . The Griff and Chmaera mirrors were off the 205.

Try taking the broken one into your local Motor Factors.

I couldn't find out what it was from when I broke mine, in the end I got a new one from Castle.

Just knocked off, or knocked off and broken? If the whole thing's come off in one then you can get purpose-designed rear-view-mirror adhesive patches. Halfrauds'll no doubt have them, but I've always managed to pick them up in petrol stations in the past.

Its broken.... but there is still the 'fixing/bracket' attached to the windscreen, but two small plastic runners have broken off of the mirror end of the fixing. Was hoping to get an identical mirror, then I could slot it straight into the existing bracket!

Halfrauds of all places do a templating service... take them in the remnants of the old one and they'll get one cut to match. Usually takes a couple of days turnaround.

I did try that, but just couldnt get the bits to set properly (especially with my fat fingers!) So, for £25 inc delivery, new one arrived today! Sorted.
