Van Wezel 0950804 Exterior Mirror

The Van Wezel 0950804 Exterior Mirror is a premium side‑view mirror designed specifically for the Citroën Saxo series, including models from 1996 to 2004. It offers a seamless blend of durability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal that enhances both safety and style on every drive.

Key Features & Specifications

• Model Compatibility: Tailored for Citroën Saxo S0, S1, and S3 variants. Fits the original side‑view mirror housing without modification.
• Material Construction: Crafted from high‑strength polycarbonate with a reinforced glass pane, ensuring resistance to impact, vibration, and temperature extremes.
• Optical Clarity: The mirrored surface delivers sharp, distortion‑free visibility, reducing blind spots for safer lane changes and parking maneuvers.
• Anti‑Glare & Anti‑Fog Coating: Integrated coatings minimize glare from headlights and prevent fogging in humid or cold conditions.
• Weather‑Resistant Finish: UV‑protected paint and a robust sealant guard against corrosion, fading, and cracking caused by sun exposure and road salt.
• Installation Type: Quick‑fit design with pre‑drilled mounting holes that align perfectly with the vehicle’s existing bracket system.
• Dimensions & Weight: Compact profile (approx. 120 mm × 80 mm) and lightweight construction (~0.5 kg), reducing overall vehicle weight for better fuel efficiency.

Design Excellence

The mirror’s sleek silhouette mirrors the modern lines of the Citroën Saxo, providing a harmonious visual integration. Its matte finish complements the car’s exterior palette while the subtle chrome accents add a touch of sophistication. The ergonomic shape ensures optimal viewing angles for drivers and passengers alike.

Performance & Safety Benefits

• Enhanced Visibility: The high‑reflectivity surface offers clear sightlines even during nighttime driving, improving reaction times in critical situations.
• Reduced Blind Spots: Precise alignment with the vehicle’s geometry eliminates gaps that could conceal pedestrians or other vehicles.
• Durability Under Stress: The polycarbonate core absorbs shocks from road debris and minor collisions, preserving mirror integrity over extended use.
• Low Maintenance: Easy to clean with standard automotive wipes; the anti‑fog coating reduces the need for frequent defogging treatments.

Maintenance Tips

• Wipe the mirrored surface with a microfiber cloth and mild cleaner to keep glare at bay.
