So I was driving down a road that I frequent and there are plenty of others in my area just like it. We have a ton of old train bridges in my area that are narrow but not too narrow as 2 way traffic is allowed. In fact if you stop and wait it is possible that the on coming cars will not do the nice "every other car" rule. For the first time in a long time I went without a care. So did the other vehicle coming the other way. Everything would have been fine had the other guy remembered he had extended mirrors on his Ford pickup.

So needless to say I need atleast the following parts:

Flat mirror (heated :( )
Plastic shroud (the ones that are colored to the truck or chrome)
And the piece that surrounds the mirror that is probably black on all the trucks. Shroud connects to it in the back.

So I am sure bputah has all but they only list 2 out of the 3 parts that I think I need and time is more important than the other parts that I have ordered. I am also on the right coast so timing is probably going to be an issue. If it was the right mirror I probably wouldn't care as much but the drivers side is more important.

Besides the dealer which is 2 miles from my house what are my other choices or what do people recommend.

Thanks

Soo I finally have the parts. Paid a little less at the dealer but waited the same amount of time if I ordered from a private parts house.

2 Problems have popped up as a result of the parts I received. (Plus a 3rd question)

I only needed 3 items- Glass, Painted Plastic and the black piece that surrounds the glass. (Which you can see in the above picture.)

I have received the first 2 parts but the last piece came as 1 big unit.

1. Can't I just get that black piece?
2. If I can't how do get access to 3 bolts to mount this heavy thing. Any directions available? I couldn't find them on the LR site.
3. Do I need the adhesive http://www.bputah.com/RRS/Land_Range_Rover_Sport_LR3_LR2_Mirror_Cover.html

Thank you. I was able to do step 1 of that but the 2nd part didn't look that easy and figured I would break something. Plus side for me. The wire is in the housing. :)

Well I finally got around to replacing my mirror and all the other items that game along with it.

Opps Dealer go me the mirror with the approach lamp puddle lights.


What I need now is the lens cover and I would guess this lens might hold the light in place.

Any ideas?

Thank you,
