Series 1 1990 XM nearside mirror. SORTED 14/07/2025

Amendment:
I dismantled the distorted damaged mirror and found that I can get away with just the metal/casting hinge mechanism that mounts to the bodywork allowing the mirror body to deflect in either direction, back and forth. All my plastic mouldings are in tact, as is the mirror itself.
So, if you have a damaged nearside wing mirror where the hinge is not bent but the plastic is damaged, it may well be okay for me.
I'm based in Leicester and happy to come and pick up within a reasonable mileage, COD if preferred or bank transfer.
I'm also hoping to make the Citreon event on Sunday at Abbots Ripton.
Thanks for looking,
Tim.
I managed to buy a n/s Series 1 mirror on ebay which was black, a few hours swapping the frame out and fitting it into the grey livery and I now have a fully functioning nearside mirror again. Thanks very much to David, in the Bognor Regis area. I haven't got a surname. (for the ebay purchase).
