60 Reg Santa Fe - Drivers Door Mirror LHD / RHD - The Bookies Pal

I need a driver's door mirror assembly for my 60 reg Santa Fe. I can source one from the US at about 25% of the price of a UK one. Are they actually right hand / left hand mirrors? ie the passenger door mirror for a LHD car would be the same as a driver door mirror for a RHD car. Would there be any compatablity problems?

Generally speaking,mirrors are different for left and right drive vehicles.Although the mirror may fit the door,the angle of view will be different.Also you may find that a US mirror does not fold.This does not comply with EU safety regulations.

If you want LHD parts, Europe is a better source.
