As far as I am aware it wasn't an option. But I was wondering if any particular 45 had them as an option, if so it could fit regardless if the same casing and internals.

it looks the same size. just wondering if the mounting was different as it has the heated part on the back of the glass. where else can i get one from

All ZS have heated mirrors as standard and then are perminately on with the ignition. The bubble 400 had then as an optional extra and operated with a switch, then when changing to 45 they set the up to come on straight away with ign.

Well, I just checked my handbook and you are correct! All I can say is mine must be broke as they have never cleared! Previous cars that have had them cleared very quickly, these don't at all.

they are fairly easy to replace, they unclip and then have a simple spade connector plug on the back face.

Well i'm glad i'm not the only one then, hence why I said I didn't think they were heated! Normally you get a patch starting to clear around the element, but I get nothing at all.
