Looking for Door Mirror Part Number from VIN

Unread post by sugarisbadforyou »

Hi

I need a complete nearside (folding) door mirror for my C3 mk2 exclusive. If anyone can get me the part number it would be of great help!

VIN: (edited to remove)

Here you go - I've listed the diagram for your car as you may only need a certain part of it - but part numbers are there.

The whole mirror is £289.27 inc. VAT from Citroen. You may need to enquire about painting options as they are usually supplied primed only for the trim.

Many thanks, and sorry for being paranoid about not ordering the wrong one but does this look like it:

(Painting is not an issue as the painted part survived the impact.)

Hi - unfortunately many ebay sellers just want to sell their gear and list part numbers that are completely incorrect or ambiguous.

In this case, if you look at the item reference where I have copied it below, you can see they are listing 2 Citroen part numbers - and these are different.

8154 AS is the mirror that does not have heating elements in (for demisting) and also is not the electric fold-back one.
Yet they are also listing 8154 AV - which is the correct part for your car, but does have both the heated mirror glass and is the electric fold back version!

So either ring them up and confirm or avoid - they can't be both the same mirrors and it is extremely annoying for the buyer, wasting time sending things back when they are wrong. :-D

So to confirm, you have 8154 AV, electrically folding back and heated. The one in this listing can be one or the other, not both.

Looking at the price I would say NO - it is too cheap compared to the others - this is the one you need:

No problems - best of luck with fitting it and if you need any help or diagrams removing the mirror unit, just shout. :-D
