Driving to work last night, I was about get in the fast lane of the A12 to overtake a lorry when I looked at my offside mirror and it was gone! Don't know when it happened but it was at some point from my house to the dual carriageway.
Anyway the mirror itself, and whatever it is that keeps the mirror in the casing, is gone and needs replacing asap. I knew the casing was cracked and had been bodged by the previous owner using some kind of glue, but I thought I could put it off for a while.
Obviously at some point I'd like to replace the whole unit because that ugly crack looks awful. Anyone got any idea where to get hold of one? Are there any specialist Barchetta scrappies? Will Fiat supply it?
If that's looking like it'll take a while I'll need to replace the mirror glass and the holding unit for the time being, which I imagine shouldn't be too hard. But from that photo, does it look like another mirror will fit in and be secured easy enough?
Anyway yeah, I'd appreciate any comments/help etc
I have a 96 model btw, without any electric mirror adjusting.
PS Anyone know offhand which section of the manual replacing the wingmirror is in? Can't find it anywhere in the 'Bodywork' section
