The nearside mirror on my 2000 facelift omega estate got knocked off (broken not stolen).The metal skeleton is still there but the ABS surround is gone along with the glass etc. the motor whirs but dosent seem to move anything at all. I'm thinking it will probably be easier to source a second hand unit and change the whole thing rather than 'faff' around with bits. This raises three questions for me.
a) will the mirror from a facelift saloon fit the estate
b) what price am I looking at for a second hand unit.
c) Whats involved in the job
The car is star silver  (Z147) but if necessary I can respray with an aerosol.
As always guys, youre thoughts and advice would be appreciated.
