Default Wing mirror glass replacement

Dont you just hate it when you come to your car and find someone has smacked your wing mirror and smashed the glass all over your car!

Any ideas where to get a decent replacement? I just need the glass and plastic unit not the whole wing mirror unit.

PS. Die a painful death you stealthy wing mirror smashing coward!

probably cause in America we think its appropriate to talk like the bolded text.....

OP check ebay but our glass is auto tinting and heated. if you buy a whole new mirror which would be easier, the 1998-2000 mirrors will work on a 2001+ and the plugs will straight plug in but they dont work exactly the same and you will lose the defrost feature

The rear view mirrors in the UK have the defrost feature as well, probably the tint but I've never noticed... However, if you buy mirrors from the US, the driver's side (UK passenger side) doesn't rotate inwards enough to be useful; I learned that the hard way.

Oh dear!

I can't really bring myself to answer this but I will leave you with one thing.

Did you know that grammar is the difference between "knowing your $h*t" and "knowing you're $h*t"

Mr antmck33 don't try to be cheeky behind your key board, trying to tell me bloody hell how to improve my grammar. When all I was doing letting Mr clos430 kn what you were trying to say. So don't try to be a blinkerd, if u have negative comments I suggests u keep them to or self. I don't have time to be cheesed off with your load of cobblers.
