Which Citroën C3 mirror do you have?
Features depend on year, market and trim. Cars like yours may come with:
- Manual or electric adjustment depending on year and trim
- Heated glass on some trims
- Folding on some trims
- Indicator repeater on many cars
- Coloured caps on some trims
Test your own car: does the mirror adjust electrically, fold, show an indicator, or clear mist with the rear screen heater on? Match those features when ordering.
Common Citroën C3 wing mirror problems
- Cap damage
- Cracked glass
- Folding faults
Tip for your C3
Third-generation C3s often have coloured caps. If only the cap is damaged, a cap alone may be enough.
Glass, cap or full unit?
If only the glass is cracked, glass alone is usually enough. A broken housing, a dead motor or a failed indicator usually means a full unit. See glass vs full unit and replacing a wing mirror. For all your options, see wing mirror replacement.
