Try Loo-Knee, he's got some bits lying around and may be able to help and he's in Kidsgrove so not too far away.

Theres one on Ebay who is in Sheffield called vauxhall heaven but personally I think his prices are way too high, He had some mirrors on last time I looked, cheapest was £50, others almost a hundred this is each!

Try the lads on here first.

If not, there is a yard in treeton that used to be called wilf jays and was about the best arround here.  But I believe it is now owned by the big dismantlers from Doncaster but I cant remeber thier name.

Just looking at what was Wilf Jays on Google Maps.  Looks too organised as if recyclers rather than dismanters now.

I don't know what year your car is. Pre-facelift mirrors are about £10, facelift ones are a lot harder to find. I paid about £50 for my last one.

Try here first. If not either ebay or breakeryard.com

With breakeryard.com you have to double check you're getting the right part.

Thanks guys.  Actually managed to find a mirror at Vaux Parts in Sheffield about 6 miles from home.  Not cheap - £100 for the whole mirror but it was in very good condition and one from Vauxhall was £340 plus vat!
