hi,
apart from changing the whole unit, is there a cheaper solution to cover the side mirror housing for FL models? cheers raj |

The chrome casings are separate, so you can replace just those.
I replaced the body-colour casings on a previous A8 I owned with chrome S8-looking casings. It was several years ago so I'm not sure where I purchased them from, but I do remember they came from Germany, possibly from this seller: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A8-S8...-/261189741178 |

Depends how good you need them to be. I replaced mine with new ones (they're aluminium BTW) and the old ones are for sale. Nearside is good; offside is scratched.

thanks for the reply.
from what i have read the facelift cars also had the side mirror housing tweaked, the casing available on ebay fit pre-facelift but no the FL's. |

Ah, yes the A8 I had was indeed a PF.
They look the same as my FL S8's mirror casings, but admittedly I've never looked at them that closely or had the need to remove/replace them. |
