The vanity mirror from e bay looks like a good option, think I will go down that road. I do miss a rear view mirror to check my hair before getting out of the van :D

My missus wants the mirror version too for her side (passenger side), I've looked about a bit and wonder, what is wrong with people at breakers yards on eBay? They all list sun-visors for £xxxx which look like they were found at the bottom of a skip! Covered in black oily hand prints or boot marks, Jesus wept.

Maybe their own cars look like that inside and they don't realise that's not normal.

I got my LHS visor with mirror - No WARNING signs version - from a breaker via eBay.

Looked OK in the photos and arrived with a few extra black marks.

A lot of careful scrubbing with a toothbrush, hot water and washing up detergent got it nice and clean.

No physical damage to the visor, so I may have been lucky - bit of a lottery.
