Cloudy auto dimming wing mirror glass - 2002 S8
My drivers side auto dimming wing mirror glass is no longer working and has gone a cloudy brown colour.
When I phoned Audi they wanted £290 for a replacement 😬 I want to replace both sides with standard glass but the Audi parts man left me more confused when I spoke with them. Does any one know how many types of glass there are and what's the best replacement in your opinion? Part numbers will be most beneficial as that was the only language the parts guy seemed to understand 😄. Cheers Rich

Try our sponsors first, or eBay. Just make sure you get the D2 facelift ones.
My dimming mirrors are now just standard ones which are slightly tinted and I actually prefer that. There are various types, different tints and some with curved outer sections (wide-angle?). Here's a likely one on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370692321525

Thanks HP. Like you say there are many types to chose from and I'm not sure which is best
 Some look clear and some look blue-ish as well? What would be good in your opinion? By the way, sounds like we have similar colour S8's from your signature

Found this useful website. Think I want blue, heated and convex! Just to check, would I need one with a backing plate?

Yes. I think that's the one I pointed at on eBay.
PS Update your signature so we know what you have.
