Default Need help from UK

Guys, I need to replace the side view mirror on the passenger side of my 2011 XFR. It is a right hand drive J spec. I just need the glass. I can remove the broken glass and stick the glass right on the plastic backing. I found a company in the UK ( in eBay.uk) but they won't ship to me in Japan or to my other address in the US. I don't know why, since they ship almost everywhere else.

PASSENGER NEAR SIDE LHS N/S CONVEX HEATED WING MIRROR GLASS FOR JAGUAR XF 08-ON | eBay

Can anyone order this for me and ship it to me? I am willing to pay extra for "handling" charges or maybe I could pick up something you might want from Japan.

Also could use some help on which glass is stock on the XF... Flat, convex, or wide angle. I'm assuming convex but I could be wrong.

I Priced them in Japan and the dealer wants $400 US.

Happy to help. Do you me want to buy it on your behalf and then ship it? When it arrives, I'll find out how much the postage is and you can pay me for it then.

Best wishes, Colin

Below each type, VIN range and market also comes into it.

GGG, thanks for the parts diagram. It looks like I need the without Blind spot, electrochromic, convex without warning.
I honestly don't know if the eBay seller's glass has electrochromic function.

Aardvark, thanks for the offer.
But it looks like I might have to do some more research.

Looking at some mirror housing assemblies on eBay.... Now if I could get them to ship it to me.

This independent Jaguar specialist in Staffordshire, UK lists the various Door Mirror Glasses:

Exterior Fittings And Sunroof - XF Range

Scroll down their page to find the mirrors.

Still expensive but a lot less than your local dealer and less risky than an eBay purchase.
