Default Vanity Mirror

I know a lot of after-market places are selling the vanity mirror for the later modle C3's, but for $100 I think I want to try to fix mine. I have all the peices except for the plastic round clips (Ithink they're called clips). I can re-assemble the mirror the plastic cover that goes over the back of the mirror and the peice with the door. It's just one clip is broke and the other is missing. I would hate to spend the money when all I need is two clips and a little paint. Does anyone now where I could go about getting those clips? Any help would be great.

Hmm, I just went out and looked at my vanity mirror. It's one of those slip on types with the two strings that are supposed to slip around the sun visor. but, the mirror has two pieces of styrofoam glued on to the back of it, and the styrofoam glued to the visor. From what I can tell my interior is original, so I don't see any clips. the backing for the mirror is plastic and wraps around to hold the mirror in place. There must be someplace to see an accurate image of the original sun visor with vanity mirror...isn't there?

Sounds like yours is a different design then mine. Mine has 2 round clips that go into hole on the visor. they mount to a rubber peice that gets gued to the back of the mirror and then sandwich the plastic case to the visor.
