Yep. Done it myself.

You need to get hold of the mirrors from a Japanese Import version car (ie the STI4 or 5) You will also need the switch from the centre consol from the same car.

Then, just swap out the mirrors with the ones on the car, and swap the switch over too, and Voila!!

The switch looks like this..........

Depends!! You can get the mirrors and switch from a breakers, but I was getting quotes of £100 odd for the mirrors, and £25 for the switch!!!

Then you have to paint them the right colour etc........

I was dead lucky to get a set including the switch off of here for a bargain price. They were even Sonic Blue so no need to re-paint

Keep an eye-out on Flea-Bay as they sometimes crop up on there.

Its pretty tricky getting just the glass, as they are import only, so Subaru UK can't help.

Asked a couple of the sellers on ebay. They are the type of glass you stick over the broken mirror.
