    Hi,
    I've rang around a few motor factors but there doesn't seem to any third party ones electrice wing mirrors available for an 05 corolla.

    I haven't had any luck with car dismantlers so either. I'm checking out partfinder.ie at the moment. Does anyone know what year range the 2005 corolla marque went around - Is it 2005 to 2008 or something?

    I think the Toyota Dealer are looking for 170 euro for an official Toyota mirror. :(

    Try partsgateway.co.uk THey send the request out to a load of brakers yards so if its available, they will find it.

    Whats up with the mirror? damaged? faulty electrics? broken case? broken glass?

    But sometimes a smashed up electric wing mirror can be replaced by a non electric version & then swapping out your electrics which may still be ok. Just making the point that if you know exactly what is needed, it will increase your chances of finding it used

    Hi OP,

    I get parts here for my Toyota Sera, usually quite a good saving over Toyota dealer prices, and nice folks to deal with. Worth an enquiry at least, but don't forget to factor in shipping cost!
