Hi Folks,

As previously mentioned I had some idiot smash into my drivers door mirror with his passenger side door mirror, bending it the wrong way (towards the bonnet) and smashing the plastic mirror surround. Its still in place, all the electrics still work, but I want a new one.

As Vauxhall charge like a wounded bull for these things I'm looking at getting one off ebay

As these seem to be colour coded I cant find one to match my car! As I'm sure you are all aware its just like a 'cap' on the back of the mirror thats the same colour as the car.

My question is....are these 'caps' easily removable?

If so I can get any mirror and just replace whatever colour cap is already on it with my own.

It states my car is 'Silver' on my V5....but it looks a sort of light gold to me

cheers

Dave

I had the same problem with my mini facelift. I took it apart with the intention of using the silver back panel so I could buy any colour mirror. Then one came up on ebay complete unit for £20 in the right colour so I didnt need to. I *think* from when I took mine apart that you can just swap the rear part over. Easy to check if you take the current one apart and see if its as I remember it...
