Facelift C5 (Mk 2) door mirror

[Philjw]

Hi All,
After a slight altercation I need to replace the drivers door mirror on the 2005 C5 Exclusive. Dealer says £205 plus the price to paint it. There is one from a 2001car on ebay. Does anyone know if this would fit the 2005 model?

And is there a way to stop the search on here ignoring C5 from search terms?

I don't know about the mirror, but the reason that C5 (and Xantia, amongst others) is ignored is that you would have hundreds of hits (probably thousands) on a search within the forum. There are (currently) six references to C5 in this post, if you include the ones in this sentence and your signature.

Hi,
I found a source of "genuine" citroen mirrors in Merton for a quarter of the dealer price. Hmmm.
Now I need to know where to find the paint code. Can anyone help me with that?

paint code is on the same sticker as the tyre pressures on the a post of the drivers door

Hi Oneday,
Thanks for that.
Is the paint code going to be numbers or letters? Does EYTC sound right? It's grey metallic

[oneday]

thats the one if you google citroen paint codes you will find what its called

A lot of motor accessory shops,can sell you the paint concerned over the counter in an aerosol can. A few light applications, letting each coat dry, should do the job. However this is not the sort of weather to paint anything, unless you are doing the job in a closed shed. If it is a passenger side mirror, ensure that you do not discard it without removing the sensor, that is the small bubble object on the bottom of the mirror - it can be fitted into your new mirror - if the new one is minus a sensor.(it gives you the outside temperature readout) The wiring will be obvious when you remove the old mirror casing.

Being an Exclusive, yours will have a foldback function. dont know if a Mk1 Exclusive mirror will fit. Does anyone know?
