 Morning all. FWIW

I had 2003 model. All I could find was Citroen's own. I remortgaged the
house. They are quite well designed but not well engineered as a thread
stripped so it was no
longer secure so I had to replace at short notice two years on.

I hate to say this in view of recent posts that Milenco mirrors fitted, the
new ones
are better than the old ones re fitting but because of the rake of
windscreen, they impair  visibility especially when entering busy
roundabouts.

It might be worth posting on alt.autos.citroen.

I haven't tried them, but I know that Pyramid are now e-marking their Suck 
it and See range. Since these stick onto the glass of the factory-fitted 
door mirrors, they should work with any car. However, you will lose some if 
not all of the view from the normal door mirrors.

Hallo George,
I don't know if they ship to the UK, but take a look at this site 
www.repusel.com for mirrors.
I use them for 5 years  on my C5's 2001 and 2003 model, to my great 
satisfaction. Mind you, the spring (?) in the car mirror is a bit weak, so 
it might need a little help on the drivers side, look under "mirror problem 
solvers"

I've used Repusel special mirrors for a few years now, but didn't realise 
they'd gone up quite so much, so didn't recommend them. Also the design of 
the clamping device appears to have changed from the ones I have. I got mine 
from a local caravan dealer, but they can be difficult to find. To combat 
the weak C5 spring, I use a bungee with plastic hooks, one end clipped 
around the mirror arm and the other hooked onto the front wheel arch. Cost 
next to nowt and is effective, but add some soft padding to the wheel arch 
hook.
