Wanted - Near Side Wing Mirror

Went for dinner last night, left the car at the train station, picked the car up this morning to find someone had fallen into my wing mirror and broken the internal alloy-cast frame.

Anyway, need a new one, Sterling Grey would be amazing but any colour will do.

Do make sure that the speakers are actaully being powered by the amp in the headunit and not the amp that is attached to some speaker setup's. You can check this by removing the speaker in the passengers footwell. If it has a crazy concraption attached to it then you could think about bypassing it.
