Styling Can i put small mirrors on?
Well you'll likely get a good price on ebay for the big ones if you do - they seem to be as rare as hen's teeth and much in demand.
Might be an issue with insurance as this could be deemed to be a modification which reduces the safety of the car.
Personally I think the new larger mirrors are just about the best mirrors I've ever had on any car, but that's personal preference for you.
The small ones suit the car much better and whatever is going on behind you is irrelevant anyway...

yea i think they do too
any chance of changing them do you know?
As far as i'm aware its a straight swap.
Strange 'cos I don't like the small mirrors and would much prefer the big ones!

You two should get together & swap!
Good idea!
I can confirm they are a straight forward swap.
There are 3 versions though (in addition to being colour coded or not).
Manual adjustment ones
Electric adjustment
Electric adjustment with external temp sensor
Make sure you get the correct ones

what! lol where are you located? and what kind have you got?
mine are electric ones
I replaced the BIG mirrors on my 2011 Panda for the smaller ones after one got broken.
Straight fit and I bought mine from Eurocarparts - prob cheaper on ebay.
The fat nut that you have to unscrew is a proper swine - squirt oil in it to make it easier to unwind.
Sell your big mirrors on ebay

Pretty sure all 100HP's have external temperature display.
But not all Panda's are 100HPs
Agreed but the OP's is and it was to that car I was referring.
But are the donor Panda's? This is what OP needs to check.
They are a straight swap I had to do mine. I ordered 2010 model ones from Europarts but they were the small ones so had to take them back.
In the end I had to buy one from the main stealer, cost me shy of £100 for a manual black one!! I think the new shape Panda uses the same mirrors so hopefully the big ones will become more common on the used market.
I personally think the big ones look a bit ugly but much prefer them for a safety point of view.

Hi - I am in North Yorks near Whitby on the edge of the N York moors. Mine is 2008 Panda 4x4 Cross with electric windows and no external temp sensor. Knowing my luck the other car is in the deep South!!
They'll be no good for a 100HP as it'll need the temp sensor.
