    Hi Folks,
    Just wondering if anyone on here knows where I can source a replacement Wing mirror unit for a 2006 Megane Coupe Cabrio without spending €300+!!!
    I've been through Ebay, and all the spare parts/Breakers portals I can find both Ireland and UK and had no joy :(

    I can get a Megane 2002-2009 unit on ebay but unfortunately these do not fit the CC as its a different mounting plate/window bracket.

    So I'm hoping someone here might know where I can source one.
    Thanks in advance folks.

    Just to close this out and hopefully offer some tips to anyone who finds themselves in a similar predicament.
    I used an OEM electric Megane2 wing mirror to do, (even if I do say so myself ) an excellent repair!
    The Mounting Bracket for the standard Mirror WILL NOT FIT the CC!!!
    It needs a signicant amount of plastic cut away including the clips.....Along with removing some plastic from the bottom of the mount/support bracket(To ensure a snug fit)
    But with patience, you can easily get it to a correct and almost exact match
    I trimmed the plastic to slightly over the required size, then with the window rolled down to use the inner panel as a template, I marked Off the final size of the mount and proceeded to use a heatgun to bend the plastic over to give a trim/lip to the mounting bracket.
    After the lip was done, I sanded the inner edges to a uniform smooth finish and mounted the mirror in place (tho unless you choose to add epoxy it will only be held by the centre nut)
    I have to say for the total cost of £58/€70 versus the cost of €125 from Ebay france or of the exhorbitant €340 I was qouted via Renault for the replacement mirror it is a neat and tidy fix.
