Editing Door Mirror, Sourcing and Replacing (section)

==Sourcing==

A breakers yard is a good cheap source from the Metro/MG models.

Search Ebay for Rover/Metro door mirror will always throw up 2nd hand and new after market pattern parts. 

Don't discount a manually adjusted mirror. The adjuster can be removed. See [[Replacing a Mirror]].

Any decent motor factor will also be able to supply a new pattern part cheaper than Lotus

The actual glass itself is about £25 each from Lotus but can be bought MUCH cheaper on Ebay (~£5). 

A 2nd hand or pattern part is likely to be unpainted (black) or in the wrong colour (Metro Beige on you Exige anyone !!!). Compared with the price of the part, having the shroud painted will be relitively expensive given its size. If you can salvage the coloured shroud from your old damaged mirror you can save some money here. See [[Replacing a Mirror]] for instructions on swapping the parts.
