1. Any reason why D2 S8 wing mirrors would go onto a D2 A8?
2 if I get European ones, will the driver's side mirror dip when I select reverse, or is that all dealt with by electronics in the car?

TIA.

You might find the glass convex in each is the wrong way round. That may or may not just be a swap.

Someone on here will know I'm sure......
