Halfords have their uses, just don't let them actually touch the car.
In fact, it may be best not to even park it in their carpark.
I have found in the past the mirror glass replacements are a poor fit and if the glass has fallen out completely they will be no use since they stick to the old glass.
On a car that age I think you may be stuck with the dealers for this kind of part. :(

Try a scrapyard or... I will find a link now for a website which sends your part request to a huge number of breakers all over the UK who then email or telephone you with availability and price. I've bought lots of spares this way, excellent.
