Depends what are you after, auto dimming are hard to find and expensive. I had non-auto dimming mirrors on mine and replaced both because heater stopped working on one and other was getting discoloured. I just got a cheap aftermarket mirrors from e-bay like this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AUDI-A8-19...item460aa7e8bc , I am sure there are similar available for FL as well. Just make sure it comes on a backplate as many on e-bay are without it or come with a separate universal backplate and you need to use double sided tape to attach them.

I bought an eBay one when my auto-dimming lens failed on my PF, big mistake as it wasn't even heated despite having connectors. I paid a tenner for it but then bought a replacement Audi lens from A8 Parts for £15, perfect condition and it's heated of course.
I shouldn't think the FL will cost any more and I only phoned last week and they have plenty of stock.

Well the ones I bought on e-bay were heated and working. Also bought a pair for A6 heated and working as well and only reason to buy them were because heating had failed on originals on A6.

My dimming FL mirrors have at some time (almost inevitably) been replaced by normal heated ones (bronze tint) which I actually prefer; the interior mirror still dims.

 The one I bought had strange sized connectors on and started "flaking" within a few weeks of being fitted, fortunately I discovered A8 Parts soon after
