Cheap enough on EBay etc.
By the way, if my experience some months ago is anything to go by, this (section? of the forum appears insecure, and you might get spurious messages direct to the e-Mail associated with your post - but not in messages.

Well, if above mentioned situation of private messages happen, please do notify us. We did some countermeasures in order to prevent most of such things from happening.
Anyhow, if anything suspicious happen, do tell us in order to see what else we could do.

Never ever did I receive any suspicious message since 2015.

Thanks folks,
Yes I did inform the forum when this happened to me, when I advertised for wanting a Metro mirror - but unfortunately no response, as I recall.
Incase it helps, I had two emails direct, - but with links, - yet no corresponding messages in my messages.
Thanks, Austin

Now should not be possible to get direct emails.

 

[Austin2297]

Thanks Roverlike,
Does that mean you have only just fixed it, but it would have been possible in December last year?

 

[Roverlike]

Countermeasures were implemented after we saw what happened to you and some other members. However, scammers and spammers might use different tactic, so we count on our members to notify us if they receive something we cannot see.

Do not think that reaching to us will pass without our actions, but sometimes actions need to be done silently and might take some time to do them.

Simply measure if it looks to good to be true it usually is and only deal with people that live in the UK. The fact that this is a forum means there you details are there for all to see buyer beware 🙈🙉🙊

No, it doesn’t or shouldn’t mean your details are there for anyone to see. Your chosen user name, general location and vehicle model are, but the supposedly hidden e-mail contact shouldn’t be ( now fixed?) so there should not be any direct means of contacting members directly except via. the forum message facilities.
