i have managed to bust the black edge of drivers side mirror on my 03wrx. the colour coded part and the glass electrics are fine.

I went to the local dealer and they wanted £276 + VAT for a entire unit fitted. that is a joke. they said it is almost impossible to take the unit apart and swapover parts and hecne why they only sell complete units.

I was thinking of changing both mirrors for a aftermarket one. I have seen m3 mirros which are supposdly a direct swap. for £60. anyone got any pictures of wrx's with this style of mirror does it look as chessy as i am dreading it will do.

any suggestions for cheper repair / replacement of the original mirror ?

These were fitted to my STI, and they did not look too bad at all.

I did manage to get genuine replacements on e-bay for an excellent price, so it may be worth a look there.
Just search subaru impreza mirror in all categories.

wow they actually look great. same colour as well. i dont suppose you know if these are the arospeed electric ones ?. do they work with the existing mirror controls in the car.

who supplied and fitted them for you ?.

They were not electric, but only cost about £40 also on e-bay!
Fitting is a DIY job and takes about 30 minutes.
Piece of p*ss!
