Default Ok so the dealer wants 700$ for the normal side mirror parts. Mirror trivia.

Wasn't there a different audi that we could use its mirror for the A8 to make the mirrors the same size on both sides?

I searched but did not see much of anything about this.

I think I am going to go with the chrome mirror caps( or housings ), both normal size if I can figure out exactly what I need.

I thought someone did this already (converted to the same size mirrors).\

So in the end I would have the same size mirrors on both sides in chrome.

TIA,

Default I did it.

Bought the aluminum housing from ebay.de. Had to use the existing brackets but we got it to work. Actually there is a set for sale on ebay.com right now.

Default So what is up with this: On my A8 D2 the right mirror is smaller than the left one. On my wife's...

...A4 B5 the right mirror is BIGGER than the left one. Logic? :-)

Default Re: How is this?

Is it really worth $300 for mirror caps?
Will this housing work with all other components from A8?

Default Kinda expensive just for the housing

I think I paid $350 for housing, motor, mirrors and shipping from germany. I've seen them sell for as little as $150 for all the parts on ebay.de.

But it is a lot easier and you won't get raped on the exchange rate.
