FL Mirrors on PF
 
Hi Guys,
As it has been bugging me that my car has a smaller mirror on the passengers side for a while, then I have been thinking about upgrading my PF mirrors, to the wider(on passenger side) mirror and after that installing some chrome covers/housings off Ebay.

So I am thinking that its possible to buy a drivers side mirror(from a british A8) and installing it to my German A8 and then getting covers that fit FL(both mirrors being the same size now) I wonīt mind the wide-angle that is in driver-side mirrors on both(as I have it on the left on my german version)

Alternatively I could just buy FL mirrors... but I only need one:)

I guess color of the new mirror housing is not an issue as I want to install the chrome housing

Is this the best option? Maybe you guys have a better idea?

Note: I donīt want to upgrade to full S8 mirrors.. eventho they are much cool'er... then I donīt drive an S8 and donīt want to portray(fake) that I am:-) + they are pricey!

Edit: well granted that they are cheap.. I don't mind being fake it seems.

Cheers

Carl(from A8 Parts) is trying to sell me some S8 mirrors... should/shouldnīt I?

Iīm guessing yes... if the price is right:)

He offers them at Ģ395 im thinking more like Ģ250(I offered him Ģ275...inlcuding some other small things and postage, lets see what he says)

will update with info

Damn it if Carl isnīt a good salesman, he just convinced me to buy the S8 mirrors

I'm sure the next thing he's selling me is an S8 engine and tranny:ROFL:

Though the budget is being punished, he gave me a such a good price, that I could not resist.

I'll post some pics when I have received and fitted them:D
