From motester.co.uk/mot…rs/
6/2/23
M1 vehicles (cars) first used on or after 26 Jan 2010 will need to have 3 mirrors – one fitted to the vehicle offside and nearside plus the interior mirror – unless the interior mirror cannot give a view to the rear, for example if a bulkhead is fitted.
Check if this will fit your car ebay.co.uk/itm…757"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/51411691","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"harrythefish"},"datePublished":"2023-11-11T17:06:19.000Z","text":"The online scrapyards have changed, nowadays you can put your number plate in and search for compatible parts. I had luck finding correct colour of mirror for a Hyundai but there was still a difference, the replacement had non removable bolts fitted that were far too long. After sawing 3 bolts off to the right length got it fitted. To my amazement even the demister heater in it worked."}],"commentCount":15,"interactionStatistic":9,"articleSection":"Ask"}
