Door mirror glass
Smashed my driver's wing mirror at the weekend (stupid volvo driver in middle of road, couldn't get in the ditch any further ).
I tried wingmirrorman.co.uk and they sent me a pre-facelift mirror glass. They didn't have any other for the S8. Obviously the facelift is bigger and a slightly different shape. Where do you guys get your wing mirror glass from? Any recommendations? Facelift 2002 S8 |

Get on the blower to Dave, there's two different glass types green and blue I think.

Hmm. I'm a little worried now - I ordered a mirror from wingmirrorman, when it arrived it was the wrong shape and slightly too small, with a bluey hint to it. Mine aren't bluey. I sent it back and asked if they had a later one as I assumed this one must have been pre-facelift or A8. They had only that shape/size for A8/S8 94-02.
I called Audi Amersham who wanted £40 for one... I called Dave @ A8Parts, got one ordered and received this morning (good packaging by the way - arrived in one piece). Problem is, it's the same as the one I got from wingmirrorman, ie too small, wrong shape and bluey. I'm wondering if I've either got mirrors from a different car (S6 or S4 or something) or is there definitely a difference between pre- and facelift S8 wing mirrors? Gonna ring Dave back in a bit, but just wondered if anyone has a pic of a pre-facelift S8 wing mirror and a facelift S8 wing mirror for comparison? EDIT:- No worries folks, confirmed with Dave there are definitely differences between facelift and pre-facelift S8 mirrors. Sorted Last edited by DJStrange; 24th April 2009 at 09:43 AM. |

I am assuming yours are auto-dimming...?
...The previous owner of mine was not prepared to fork out for a heated and auto-dimming glass on the drivers side, and so I had glarey blue on one and goldy/bronze on the passenger side.
Needless to say, Dave sorted me out with the right one (has a raised black plastic trim around the glass, and two plugs in the back). Zip |

what would I need to fit autodoming side mirrors, just the new glass? Or other stuff? If it's just the new glass then I will order myself some from A8 Parts pronto!
