Wing Mirror Buying Guide

Wing mirrors; also commonly known as door mirrors or side mirrors are one of the most important safety features installed in your vehicle. They play an integral role in ensuring that you can see all around your vehicle, especially for areas outside of your peripheral vision.

It’s therefore a no-brainer that your mirrors should be working correctly as without them you will present a hazard to other road users. In addition you will also fail your annual MOT if your mirrors are…

  • Missing
  • Mounted loosely
  • Damaged to the extent that vision is impaired for you the driver
  • Unable to be adjusted

Unfortunately, wing mirrors tend to be one of the most frequently dinged, scraped and damaged parts on a car, especially in public car parks.

Here at Charles Trent we sell an extensive range of quality used wing mirrors for almost any vehicle. The replacement door mirror parts we hold are up to 90% cheaper than purchasing new and can often present a more attractive option than trying to source replacement wing mirror glass or a wing mirror cover.

Our complete mirror parts include mirror glass, cover and internal housing (wirings, plugs and connections included) to ensure a stress-free switch over of your damaged wing mirror.

Every wing mirror available today in our store can be delivered fast direct to your door or collected from one of our sites if you live locally. In addition, every wing mirror comes with a free 90 day warranty to ensure peace of mind when purchasing with us.

How to choose the right wing mirror for your car

To ensure that you choose the correct door mirror for your car you’ll need to check a few things before purchasing:

  • What side is the mirror you need? Driver Side (Off Side - O/S) or Passenger side (Near Side – N/S)?
  • Is the mirror fixed or is it foldable?
  • Is your mirror electronically adjustable or manual?
  • Does it have any additional features such as: built-in indicators, heating or auto dim / light reaction features?
