Hi, just a quickie.

 

My N/S door mirror off my 2012 Fabia Monte Carlo has gone walkies, I need a complete new one. Does anyone know if there are any other Skoda models with identical mirrors? There's one on ebay but I'd like a better condition one.

 

Cheers

They are usually fairly economical to buy from carparts4less (£66, with code, for electric heated) or eurocarparts (£82, same), brand new! The drawback is getting the cover painted but the shells can be quite cheap from eBay, new and painted, depending on finding a seller. (£30--ish quid as most garages want at least that just to paint the cover).

If you have no joy in matching the paint you could consider some of that "Carbon Fibre" wrap for both door mirrors.

Thanks for that. I've managed to find a better looking one off the same model for £52 so I think I'll go with that. 

 

Thanks again. 

...For those who are interested, you can also find a pair of stainless steel for mirror covers that give a different look, if you like that sort of thing! They may hide a few scratches or even prevent them as they fit right over the normal plastic covers with double sided automotive tape.
