    That's amazing! Serendipity is clearly your friend.

    Any idea how many variations there are and are both versions you have the same PN? Just from the images in this thread I count 4 or 5... chrome with grey, chrome with black, all black and no rubber.

    .....I'm not really sure but have a theory that all mirrors were initially chrome and painted black for RS, and possibly other models....I understand this was certainly true for chrome number plate lamps that were painted black on RS's....

    .....again no clue on the black/grey rubber lip although suspect on the mirror without it's just missing.

    There's only one part number I'm aware of and maybe the lip was just changed at some point during production.

    Incidentally the design allows you to switch from left to right and I have seen a period RSR photo with these mirrors fitted both sides......I strongly suspect this mirror came from another manufacturers parts bin!

    Ultimately that could mean one version!

    Cheers,
