Looking for Opel parts

[ahoudet]

Hi all,

Maybe someone here knows a place that sells Opel parts for cheap...

Specifically, a 2007 Astra H drivers side mirror (just the mirror). Opel wants R2.2k for it and Goldwagen sells the whole housing for R1.3k and don't just stock the mirror

Should mention I'm based in Joburg...

Does anyone know if there are any specialising in Opel?

I'm not going to shop around too much since the dealer is responsible after promising... Just want to speed up the process

These guys have been very good with spares for a Zafira, you should find what you're looking for

I don't know which glass company the dealership took it to but they said that they cant make the proper curved one and will just go with a basic, flat mirror.... Which is exactly what's on the car and why I'm refusing delivery

Does anyone know which ones do the proper one?

PG Auto Glass or Glass Fit will cut you a flat glass mirror. But that is not what's fitted at the factory.

The original one would have a curve to it, enabling you to see more and possibly an integrated blindspot section. There could be some anti-glare finish and neat edging. The original would also have a heating element.

I've replaced one on a polo, it was around R800 for an original part.

You should be able find it locally as it is a common part. Otherwise just buy on Ebay from the UK, plenty of cheap Vauxhall parts online.
