Wouldn't it be easier just to pull of the hole mirror.
A while ago, my interior mirror fell off (don't ask me why ...) and 
it was broken. So, instead of looking for a new Delorean-mirror, I 
just went to a junkyard and I pulled of a mirror that looked a bit 
like the one in my Delorean. I think it was a Ford Escort (European 
version). Nobody seems to know the difference.

By the way, next week I'm going to replace my coolant bottle with one 
out of a old BMW 3-series (E30). It looks the same, works perfect and 
nobody will see the difference.
Another example : my gas struts in the trunk are really gas struts 
from an old citroën. They work perfectly and nobody knows ...

Of course I will keep all the original pieces, but I now keep 'em in 
boxes, since they're broken ...
To repair a Delorean, you don't always have to use original pieces. 
If you look around, you can find a hole lot ...
