thanks for the replies, to the mirror prob guys, i will hunt around for some folders from a later model !
thanks again,

You can pick new ones up for £60-£75 on eBay. It's a simple swap. They are beasically compatible but you need to enlarge one of the fixing holes on the outside skin of the door - IIRC need a 13mm drill bit.

Drilling is the easy part, and it is 13mm.

The mirror mounts with small screws that screw into small plastic hollow tubes.

You will also need to investigate the two large bolts (IIRC torx type) that secure the mirror to the door frame. I think the location changed on the later mirrors. I simply used some larger washers when fitting mine.

Regards,
