WANTED: Nearside wing mirror cover

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

WANTED: Nearside wing mirror cover

Post by Silver480S » Mon Sep 01, 2014 12:33 pm

I am looking for a nearside wing mirror cover for my 1993 Silver/Grey 480S. Colour code:319-1 or nearish match. I have the wing mirror but the cover is now completely broken. If replacing the cover is not straightforward then a complete replacement mirror might be the answer.

Would also be interested in an offside wing mirror cover too if possible.

Cheers.

Haven't had much luck from sourcing a new cover.
Does anyone know if the wing mirror fittings are the same across the 400 range? They look similar in photos but just wondered if anyone knew for sure.
Thanks.

The later style is the same on 440, 460 and 480. I've put a 440 cover onto a 480, but it had to be glued as the clips were snapped.

I think the Mk.1 mirrors are unique to the 480-- not 100% though.

Thanks that's useful to know. My car is a 1993 model. I've seen a few 440 parts on ebay which might do the job.
