All - just a quick note on these...I ordered a pair and fitted the driver's side the other evening, as someone else mentioned these can be fitted to the original plastic backing 'plate' which is what I did and so as to make sure the replacement mirror was a good fit I used impact adhesive to stick the two parts together.

All was fine until I drove the car, when the mirrors arrived I did not inspect them too closely and they looked fine, but when I actually went out to drive the car there is a small imperfection in the glass on the bottom edge of the mirror which unfortunately distorts the lower 25% of the mirror making reverse parking a pain in the arris.

I haven't contacted the eBay seller yet, but I envisage a difficult conversation because I doubt I will be able to remove the glass from the backing plate without breaking it (the original galss came away in three pieces despite my best attempts to remove it in one piece), so check them carefully before fitting.

 

On a positive note the convex 'bit' on the rest of the mirror works a treat for eliminating the driver's blind spot and the heating element seems pretty effective.

YOu could try leaving the mirror in the freezer for a while to harden up the glue but considering the cost of these it's not a great loss if it does go south.
