Description
Product Overview
This left exterior mirror cover is a direct-fit replacement for Citroën C5 II vehicles and is painted in Grey Metallic (color code EYLC / EYL, marketed as “Grey Iceland”). Supplied with the OEM reference 815255, this cover restores the outer appearance of the left wing mirror and protects the mirror housing from weather and minor impacts.
Who Is This For
Designed for professional mechanics and competent DIYers who need an accurate, paint-matched outer mirror shell. The part is commonly searched by its product code (815255), so quoting the number speeds up identification and ordering.
Function And Common Failure Causes
- Function: Covers and protects the mirror housing, provides the painted exterior finish and contributes to aerodynamic styling.
- Common Causes Of Damage: Low-speed impacts (parking knocks), stone chips, door contact damage, and UV/age-related paint degradation. Covers are plastic and may crack, scratch or lose paint adhesion after impacts.
Replacement Guide
Replacement is straightforward for an experienced technician or a skilled DIYer. Typical steps:
- Fold the mirror glass inward if possible. If necessary, carefully pry the mirror glass off using a padded suction or plastic trim tool to avoid breaking the glass.
- Release the retaining clips securing the outer cover by gently levering around the edge with a plastic trim tool.
- Remove the damaged cover and align the new cover to the mirror housing; press firmly until all clips engage with an audible click.
- Reinstall the mirror glass, ensuring proper electrical connector engagement if heated/folding functions are present.
Estimated time: 10–30 minutes depending on access and whether mirror glass removal is required. No special tools are usually needed, but plastic trim tools reduce risk of additional damage.
Condition Note
The item is a used replacement part with light surface scratches as shown in the photos. Scratches are cosmetic and do not affect the mounting function. If exact color match is critical, minor repainting or polishing may be required as paint shades can vary slightly between production batches.
Compatibility And Fitment
Primarily intended for Citroën C5 II models. Before ordering, verify fitment by matching the OEM code 815255 and the vehicle build details. Because outer covers can differ by trim level and mirror configuration (e.g., indicators, sensors), confirm the mirror type on your vehicle matches the replacement part.
