I hope I've posted in the right section so here goes.I am in the UK and have just bought an accident damaged 1997 GT Convertible and need a few odds and ends to finish it off and was wondering if anyone knows where I can source a few bits which are specific to the Jap version.I need a RH mirror glass and the RH front wheel arch flare which I am struggling to find even on US Ebay.The mirror glass is different to the US model as I've just found out!
I also need the RH windshield trim for a 'vert which can be off a US model.Anyone willing to ship direct to the UK as the sellers on Ebay haven't responded to my Emails yet.Thanks Steve

Best bet is the Yahoo Japan auctions, you will need a broker to make the purchases for you.

For the glass I need glass for my driver side import mirror as well, so let me know if you find a source for that. Im thinking that the glass from the 03 Cobra mirror might be the right size and shape but not 100%.

There are a bunch of flares on that Yahoo Japan auctions. Good luck, let me know if you need any info as I have gone through this process my self.

Thanks for the quick reply Matt.I did think of looking at the Japanese Ebay site but wasn't sure if I'd be able to understand it!!

I know someone with a 2003 Cobra so will ask him to compare the mirror glass for me and will let you know if it does fit.

Thanks for the offer of help :thumbsup:

I ordered the mirror glass for a 2003/4 Cobra from here http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270655425780 and fitted it today,it's a perfect fit for my passenger side.The seller has driver's side glass so I would assume that would fit yours as well http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230543582740

It was the mirror glass only and the backing plate was still in place so I just buffed it smooth,cleaned off all the old glue etc with thinners then stuck it on with superglue.It seems to be okay at the moment.

I had to order new glass after mine fell out after having the mirror painted. Silicon has held it so far with out any problems.
