My other halfs passneger mirror has been broken and I need to get a replacement, I have found one LINK for £30.90

Seems like a good price, does anyone know anywhere else where maybe cheeper (not ebay, scrap yards....etc OH doesn't trust them) Also has anyone used the above link, as I have never heard of them before

Any advice would be great

    Price looks reasonable... I paid a similar amount for a Picasso mirror from ebay a while back. I can't comment on this specific company though.
    Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
    On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
    And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning
  • Probably worth remembering the one in the link will surely come in Black Plastic and will require painting to match...

    The few mirrors I've bought have all come off Ebay in matching paint...

    Try and get an original Citroen one from a scrap yard/breakers type place. As the cheap copy parts can often be of a poor quality and rubbish fit.

    I got a cheap copy one off eBay not long ago for my 206. Wish I had just got a second hand original one instead.

    Other copy parts might be fine but my experience with copy door mirrors is crap.

    So you don't trust ebay which an established site and as a buyer are pretty much protected to the hilt, so paying by paypal your are 99% safe, but you trust a website you just found through google I presume......and people wonder why card fraud is so rife.

    Just to add i'm not saying that website is dodgy one bit, just pointing out how easily mistaken people are about being protected!!!

    Personally I would just phone the local scrappie up and ask a price, if its cheap enough drive over there, check it and pay the cash!!!
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    I agree, the mirrors tend to be those that look like biscuit tin lids (the reflection) :rotfl::rotfl:

    I fitted a copy-mirror to a Zantia. No difference to original other than 1/4 the price. It was a new part supplied from local scrappie
