Cheap Vauxhall Insignia Wing Mirror

The Insignia ran in two generations: the Mk1 from 2008 to 2017 and the Mk2 (Grand Sport/Sports Tourer) from 2017 onwards, and mirrors are not interchangeable between these generations. Within the Mk1, there was a facelift around 2013 which may affect mirror compatibility, so if you are buying a mirror that crosses that 2013 boundary you should confirm fitment with the breaker against your exact registration. Always specify your generation when getting a quote.

Both years fall within the Mk1 generation, but the Mk1 received a facelift in 2013, meaning a 2012 mirror and a 2015 mirror may not be directly interchangeable despite sharing the same generation. Name that 2013 boundary to the breaker and ask them to confirm against your registration before buying. Never assume a pre-facelift part will swap straight onto a post-facelift car.

Yes, side absolutely matters — the NS (nearside, passenger left) and OS (offside, driver right) mirrors are handed and will not swap across. Always specify NS or OS when requesting a quote from a breaker, using your registration to confirm which side you need if you are unsure of UK conventions.

Trim level — whether SE, SRi, Design, Elite, or any other — does not determine the physical fitment of the mirror housing to the door; the generation, facelift phase, and side are what matter. However, higher trims may have featured additional functions such as heating, folding, or integrated indicators, so the mirror you source may look slightly different or lack features your original had — confirm the specific functions you need with the breaker against your registration. The shell will fit regardless of trim, but feature differences are worth checking.

For the Insignia specifically, you should confirm the generation (Mk1 2008–2017 or Mk2 2017 onwards), which side (NS or OS), and your exact registration so the breaker can verify the facelift phase. Features such as electric adjustment, heating, folding, or an indicator repeater vary across the range and you should confirm which of these your original mirror had directly with the breaker, as these cannot be reliably determined from year and trim alone.

Colour is not a fitment issue — the mirror housing can be resprayed to match your car, and breakers will often supply mirrors in a different colour as a result. Focus your search on getting the correct generation, facelift phase, and side (NS or OS), and factor in a respray if the colour does not match.
