    Hi daisyboo,don't worry you are still legal to drive,think you only have to have 2 rear view mirrors,you have your interior and other wing mirror so you are ok.
    Why don't you try the local scrapyard,we get all bits and bobs from ours,they won't charge you much for the whole mirror.
    Good luck.

    As long as you have two mirrors - rear view and one wing mirror then you should be legit. If the housing is OK and you just need the glass, then they sell them in Halfords - IMO that will be the quickest and easiest way to get one. If you need the whole housing, then cheapest will probably be a scrapyard or try eBay.

    The "wing" mirror has to be the offside one.

    got mine for a nissan serena for about £7.00 only the glass though from halfords
  • If you have a local glass merchant near you and make a card template they can cut you one for about £5.00
