Football V Wing Mirror, Football Wins, Now I Need A New One!

[Gareth Rose]

Hi guys,

The missus had my Lex today and went up her parents house. Then I have a phone call saying her younger brother was playing football in the street, and has hit the drivers side wwing mirror and its hanging off. So I went up there and its just hanging by its wire looking sorry for itself. I've had a look on eBay and theres quite a few on there, but mostly early ones. Lots of 2000ish ones. My cars a '03 so would they all fit, or are there difference with mounting and wires? If anyones on here has got one, I'd rather give a fellow member a few quid than some scrappy. I dont need the whole mirror, just the triangle mount bit with the bracket on it. I've borrowed a van from work so not in an immediate rush to get it perfect, but need to move it from the inlaws to my garage, so need to take the mirror off in the morning. Where is the plug, is it in the door or in the mirror, if its in the door, do I need to take the door card off? Ive had a nose behind the tweeteer and couldnt see a plug, but didn't delve deeper at the time cos I didnt have any tools on me. Im gonna have a search on here now for a walk through, but I don't remember ever seeing one. Any adice would be great, Im gonna stick it in the garage for a week or so and try and do a few more jobs at the same time.

Thanks

Gareth

Just been having a look on eBay, and all the resonably priced ones are all pre 2001 ones. I'll keep trying to look for a post 2001 mirror, but would it be possible to just swap the base plate from an early one?
