Any Omega door mirror will bolt on to any other Omega  :y (assuming it's the correct side  ;) )

As borne out by my spares car (PFL) being fitted with FL door mirrors  :)

If it's just the glass that's cracked, then try...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Right-Driver-Wide-Angle-Wing-mirror-glass-Vauxhall-Omega-00-03-heat-/290944465788?hash=item43bda43b7c. The nearside one is also listed from the same seller. £13 delivered. 5 mins to fit.

I replaced mine with one from this seller. Simply a case of gently unclipping the damaged one, unclipping the spade connector, refitting the spade connector to the new part and then gently clicking it into place.

Mine was a very good replacement. It fitted well, and adjusts & heats just like the original.  :y

Silver to black probably better than the other way around, but black does come in a range of colours. :y

I understand that Elite mirrors are electrically different from others  :-\

The Elites mirrors, I believe alter along with the electric seats, not sure if this means there's extra wiring in the mirror or not. However, this magic re-adjusting mirror will only be apparent if there's more than one driver programmed into the seat's memory.

... but as for the question 'will they fit' then any Omega mirror will 'fit' yes. And of course the simplest solution is for the OP take out just the glass from his spare mirrors, and use them; thus negating any potential wiring issues.  :)

Correct
And perfectly interchangeable  :y

Mine has a CD drivers mirror... fitting non Elite mirrors will cost you the memory on said mirror, and fitting Elite mirrors to any other model doesn't affect the way it works :y

Correct.

Although any elite owner wouldn't tolerate non elite mirrors. Stupidly useful, particularly on the FL ones which lack the vertical view of PFL

I did discover that there is a bolt plus 2 screws behind the door card. I managed all but one screw by  removing 2 door card screws. I could just prise it away enough to get at them. the one that remains I shall make something that will get at it. do not fancy removing door card.  :y
