Where can I buy a painted Ford Focus electric wing mirror from? I need the whole outer unit as the current one is cracked.

Seen some on ebay for about £30 - £40. Any good? Or is there a reputable company I should know about.

Im going to check the breakers too.

Further to the overwhelming response I got from this, does anyone know how to remove the wing mirror on a Focus?

You could try registering on The Parts Gateway to get some prices from a few breakers yards.

have a look on ffoc or focusowners forums, no doubt there will be a guide on how to do it :]

No, but, heres my helpful hint.

I'm not taking the pee, think yourself lucky you can get a manual for your car - which I can't.

Kick it, really hard. It won't be pretty but it should get the mirror off.

In all seriousness you will probably need to remove the plastic trim from the inside of the door which will reveal some bolts. That's how 99% of mirrors are held on.

Why would I want to waste £15 or so just to get one answer when I can get it elsewhere for free?

Need to sign up and register....not much point if Im going to sell the car.

Are you the laziest human on earth or something?

I think everyone should ignore your requests for advice and let you sort your own bloody mirror out.

Not helping yourself there much are you mate. How about stop whining about having to register on those forums and actually sign up? Would take exactly the same amount of time.

I am quite lazy, but (was just about to post this) I took your advice (thanks) and removed the mirror.

Also, didnt sign up to ffoc because I was under the impression you had to pay for it. At least thats what it asked for last time I tried to sign up.

panthro · 10 Jun 2007 at 22:31

Just tried it and you have to be a paying member, as I stated previously.
