Replacement door mirror
The plastic retainer that holds the spring in place is broken, also the whole mirror assembly is loose when fitted to car. I've tried Rimmer bros and mgfntfbitz but neither has any in stock. I'll take manual or electric and black as well as green. It's a LHD car but don't think this makes any difference??
Thanks for any suggestions or offers.

They are matte black. They will bolt on in the same way as the electric mirrors but their only electrical connection is their defrost function. If you want to move them you have to wind down the window and adjust the position of the mirror head. The whole head moves unlike the electric mirrors where the head stays still and just the glass moves. They look similar despite the difference in the way they are constructed. A green aerosol would make them blend in.
Less to go wrong.
Did I mention they were cheap. A few cans of beer would be nice.

What happens is every idiot pedestrian bumps you mirror out of adjustment as they stray past, all too intent on looking at their damned phones to bother to look where they're going which results in your passenger side mirror never pointing where you need it too!

The outer casings are the same on lhd and rhd, it's the movement of the mirror angle that is different

The manual and electric mirrors are totally different, you can't easily fit manual to a car that had electric ones.
