Help! Need a new mirror for Elvis

A really nasty, evil, white van man, forced me almost of the road on Sunday, whilst he was speeding , too far over my side and smashed my mirror and yes, just drove off!

He is a Pug Boxer, 2003 model and we were quoted £81 just for a bit of glass! Havin a laugh me thinks!

Any ideas where we might find one for alot less? gonna look at Ebay later too. Help would be much appreciated.

Nasty Van people! :Angry:

 

if its just the large main glass look in halfords.:thumb:
if its the small, wide angle glass then its dealer only.:Angry:

 

Mirror Glass

Hi

Take the old glass (if removeable) and hawk it round the motor factors there are a lot of sizes available which might just do the trick. Also try Halfords, and the Local Land Rover dealers some OLD S series had big(ish) mirrors too. Truck dealers can also be a Source?.

Make a cardboard template and take it to a reputable glazier/glass supplier and they will/should cut one for you,, they have a machine that cuts glass/mirrors to weird and wonderful shapes..

If possible seal the edges and back as the reflective stuff they put on some glass is like a tin foil and will lift after a while if damp gets between the glass and foil. :thumb:

 

Similar accident a couple of years ago smashed the lower glass on the nearside. I found that the local Fiat dealer was a lot cheaper than the Peugeot dealer. It's the same part on Boxers and Ducatos. If I remember correctly just over £20 as against the £80odd which Peugeot quoted.

That reminds me. Before I discovered I could get the glass at a reasonable price I had ordered a complete manual unit (ours is electric) and couldn't cancel. It's been in the garage ever since. Must put it on eBay.

hang on to it Graham....one day fiat/pug will stop making them and run out of back stock........then put it on ebay at YOUR price...:thumb:

 

Not a bad idea John

 

good old ebay

Thanks for everyones help re this matter - but good old Ebay done it again, found the mirror! £15 with postal costs Elvis is complete again

 

Hi

Not sure of the mirror on your vehicle, our boxer based Pilote uses the same mirrors as a lorry. If this is the case with yours then this site may be of interest? very reasonable, upgraded the pair on my mine!

Kamikase Clots seem to be on the increase!! I hope his was trashed as well!
