    Scrap dealers? There is one down near the pier in Dun Laoghaire, few more near the Walkinstown roundabout.

    Autozone do them (or at least used to) a couple of years back I bought one. It was black so i got a can of moondust silver from halfrauds and sprayed it and clipped it on.

    Here is a black one from ebay. You will need to prime and paint it though. A DIY job I would imagine:

    Are you sure they are €70??

    I remember getting them before and they were not so expensive.

    Just make sure you are asking for the cover only..sometimes they pick the wrong code and quote mirror etc..

    Yep i double checked and thats what they are. seems silly cos they are only the back cover of the mirror itself. its a tiny piece at the back. the mirror unit as a whole is only €90 but thats black and primed.
    those ones on ebay are the older focus. no good.

    The one in my link is for the MkII Focus.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 177 ✭✭cartman51773


    sorry Bazz. they look slightly different to the one i have. might have some joy. Ford airside have them for 25 primed. so i can get a can and spray it myself. now all i need is the hub cap. thanks for the help lads

    Maybe you'r sorted but seems they have them here, German site

    http://seekpart24.com/ford/focus-ii-saloon-da-05/1-6-2/mirrors-101698

    I have never ordered of these guys but seems to have a lot of stuff


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 177 ✭✭cartman51773


    thanks for all your help lads. i have ordered from ford for €19 primed and i will get a spray and do it myself. its a tiny surface area and isnt even the whole mirror unit only the back piece. its only 10cm x 8cm. so no way they are getting €70 for that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,182 ✭✭✭Beef


    Just about to post looking for the same thing. Cheers for the links - I think I'll chance that German site...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 177 ✭✭cartman51773


    just to let you know i got one from ford for €19 and then grey primer and paint and lacquer. took a day to dry properly and a bit of sanding but its perfect and looks the same as the other side. All in price €34.00. better than €70 for the silver,
