I recently ordered a replacement wing mirror for my 206 2.0 Hdi after a cyclist kindly knocked my other off.
As you can see in the picture my current one (still attached) has a white connected, the new one a brown and orange connector. I'm wondering if anyone knows if these are hot swappable if I just cut the leads and reattach in the right order?
The only reason I ask is because the seller is being a pain about returns.

With the greatest respect this isn't exactly helpful to the situation. When ordering the part the full chassis number was given so this wasn't a mistake on my part.

I appreciate your comments, but I do know my way around consumer law  The question is to if I can make it fit, it'l be quicker for me to use a soldering iron rather than battle out the return.

You could go to Peugeot and buy the adaptor loom, and since they make an adaptor, I can't see any reason you couldn't solder your old plug onto the new mirror. Just be a case of following the wires in each mirror to make sure you connect the right ones together.
Edit. And as if by magic, here's a similar thread

Hi mate, yes you can chop the ends of both. However I would get the broken one and cut the end of that and and put it on the new mirror. Dead easy.
