mikeeech 349 Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Went to lotus bits today to get some electric wing mirrors but alas the cupboard was bare. So if anyone has x2 spare they would be gratefully received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rjwooll 205 Posted February 28, 2016 Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 On the Si Elite, as the door surface is relatively flat around the mirror mounting (unlike on the S2 which has moulded mounting profiles) you are free to find a mirror assembly from another vehicle if you don't mind being non-original. My wife has a Fiat 500 and it looks as though those mirror assemblies could fit (I don't know about the wiring though). On a related subject, it looks like the Fiat 500 interior mirror could function as a replacement for the dash mounted mirror if needed, as it seems to fold back far enough against the mounting stalk, which is quite short. Haven't tried it yet though! Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikeeech 349 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 I was keen to keep it original. Lotus bits had a s2 mirror and plenty with a diamond shape base for the earlier s1's but I was keen to originality! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
clivef38 156 Posted February 29, 2016 Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 I think the OE mirrors are ford granada . Try ford on fleabay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gold FFM johnpwalsh 1,330 Posted February 29, 2016 Gold FFM Report Share Posted February 29, 2016 Mike, contact Keiran,( listed on TLF as Fueltheburn). I just gave him a set last week in a load of spares I disposed of. Not too sure if they are S1 or S2 models though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikeeech 349 Posted May 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 Except for the chrome Base used on the elite. The Esprit had them body colour and used the taxi Base! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
