Editing Door Mirror, Sourcing and Replacing (section)

==Door Mirrors==

The Elise S1, S2, Exige and the new Europa all share the same door mirror and plastic shroud (Parts 1, 3 & 4 in the diagram below). The same parts are used on the MGF/MGTF and all the Vauxhall VX 220 variants. 

(The new Europa door mount is different from the Elise. The 340R mirror and mount is completely different). 

The door mirror and shroud were originally standard fitment on the Rover 100's and some late Mini Metro, so 2nd hand/new ones are plentiful and cheap. 

(Early Mini Metro mirrors are not the same. It is very easy to see the difference if you compare them side by side. Just be wary if buying without seeing)

No Lotus Elise variant ever had electric mirrors, manual adjusters or heated mirrors but some Rovers and MGs did.

The door mount and rubber collar (parts 2 & 5 in the diagram below) is Lotus specific 

Parts 1, 3 and 4 are not "handed" so any mirror sourced will fit any side of the car. Part 2 is handed.
