I ave a similar issue and have been reading through the repair thread. Unfortunately I am about a “handy” as someone with no hands.

Has anyone got a clue what I should be looking for for a passenger side wing mirror (that will fit the colour coded trim) for a 2016 Panda 1.2 Lounge? It is the cabled version not electric.

Apologies for jumping on your post, but I didn’t want to start a new thread.

Something like this?


I just searched for Panda passenger wing mirror manual, and then looked for ones that are 2012- and have removable covers (i.e. that are not black). Many parts suppliers (eg Eurocarparts) will check the correct part-number against your registration. Most of the replacement mirrors that are available are pattern parts (i.e. not genuine Fiat parts) but if you want an OEM mirror it will cost a lot more, unless you can find a secondhand one.

(I'm assuming that you can reuse your existing coloured mirror cover?).

As for fitting a replacement, it's an easy DIY job if you follow the instructions on here. Just two pieces of trim to remove, and 4 bolts to undo. Shouldn't take more than 30 minutes. If you don't feel up to tackling it yourself, a local garage will probably do it for you for £30-40, if you're supplying the parts.

Oh, and welcome to the forum! :wave:

Sorry to dig up an old thread but my question is closely related - are you saying that the non-colour-coded aftermarket mirrors do not have a removable back?
I need to replace my mothers wing mirror but trying to keep cost down. Her colour-coded cover is reusable and the non-colour-coded mirrors are cheap to come by, but it's not clear if they still use a removeable back. On the photos it looks like they have a seam but that might be just aesthetic; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/313569000505

Safest bet is to ask the vendor? Even if the cover does come off, depending how well the clone is a exact copy of the OEM version the cover may not be interchangeable? ( If i were ask to create tooling for a cheaper part, may well modify the internals to suit, make simpler and hence cheaper tool, quicker moulding cycle. Also if a registered design, then it only the "must fit" interfaces that can be the same, mirror assembly to door, glass to holder, not necessarily the cover on the housing?)
