richardmearman Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Hello all, I currently own a 2008 (58) facelift a3 s-line and i am wanting to purchase some silver s3 wing mirror covers the same as the new facelife s3, would anyone know where i can get them from? and would it just be the cover because on my model they have built in indicators in the wing mirrors which i know would be an expensive job to replace them. Any help would be greatly appreciated+++ cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audi... I'd guess the only ones you could use are the genuine S3 ones due to the new mirrors being a different shape to the originals ones and hence none of the makers of OEM copies will have any that shape yet. And yes they are just the covers not the whole unitl+++ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopsta Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 Try VAG Parts OE parts from the people who really know OE parts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khufu Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 there were a pair on ebay a few weeks ago, cant remember what they went for though. That said, they would be rare and I'd be concerned they would be stolen on such a new model. As said, Audi would be best bet though Im guessing you just need the covers and not the whole mirrors. Dont know about fitting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 There are some of the sellers on the German Ebay that ship to the UK and are selling boxed parts. When I get a chance I'll see if I can find the folks, but they are genuine parts, not stolen and good service. Still nto cheap mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwo Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 what is the point of putting on S3 wing mirrors? The only reason i ask is that i can't get my head around why someone would want to make their car appear to be a faster model than it really is.... On the other hand, i can see the fun in debadging and de blinging an s3 to give the appearance of a lesser model.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 I think it depends upon your reasons, My A3 cab has chrome stips and stuff everywhere on the exterior and the S3 mirror kind of finish off the look and do look good against the white - so from that perspective it would be aethetic only. Just a shame I had to give mine back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for speed don't under-estimate just how quick this car is with a tuning box! made a GTI ED30 look slow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
