Method of manufacturing an optical reflector

The invention proposes a method of manufacturing a hollow optical reflector of the type which comprises a rear body overmolded around the convex rear external face of a front insert, the concave front internal face of which is covered with a reflective layer, the method comprising:

• a step of producing the insert by forming;
• a step of overmolding the body on the insert; and
• a step of depositing the reflective layer on the concave front face of the insert;

  wherein the step of depositing the reflective layer is prior to the forming step.
