You can just get a stick on one from Halfords to go over the top for a MOT. I don't know about a proper replacement.

I bought two Corrado mirrors to fit to my S-Series, but ended up fixing up the mirrors already on it.

I've since compared them with the ones on my Cerbera (which I didn't have then), and they are exactly the same. It's too dark now but I'll take a side-by-side photo tomorrow if that helps.

I got my mirrors from a VW dealer they were heated and cost around £47 each.

thanks, guys, i think i will buy a stick over the top one for the moment.

£5 on ebay.

to get the mirror off, i pushed the mirror to the far corner so one edge was protruding the mirror casing enough to get my fingers behind it. it then levered it off gently in random areas, i sometimes use a long screwdriver so it levers a bigger section of the mirror than my stubby fingers.

mine only cracked as i superglued it on as some of the mirror glass clips has broke.

Well what we really want to know is how you take out the mirror with breaking it?? lol oops sorry

[plumAJP]

theres no special method i dont think just correct tools to lever i off the boss.

mine broke as i had superglue it on. if it wasnt glued it would have come off fine

It's a while ago now since I did mine but I think what you do is tilt the mirror up as far as it will go, then looking under the mirror you should see a platic item which you slide to one side then the mirror should come off. I may be wrong here but it's worth having a look but be carefull, mind you if the glass is no good anyway what do you have to lose.
