Euro Blind Spot Mirrors for C5 A6/S6/RS6
I bought a few of these over the years from eBay Germany, and they REALLY make a difference. See pictures below for before/after. They do not fit my new-to-me allroad (otherwise I would keep these!) and I must admit I really do miss having these when merging onto the highway. I have two in new-like condition. Mirror is intact, no leaks of the autodim fluid, all mounting clips are intact.
Stock mirror view:
Euro blindspot mirror view:
I tried to keep the same camera angle (very tough to do without a tripod or camera mount). Note how much more of the parking garage you can see in the background, the whole green Camry, as well as the rear corner of the maroon sedan parked next to me. I also noticed that the entire mirror is slightly convex, similar to the passenger side mirror, in addition to the outer edge. Notice how much further away the Chevy Malibu and Honda Odyssey appear in the Euro mirror??? Odd that there is no written warning "objects may be closer than they appear." like on the the passenger side. It is most convex in the outermost 1/4 of the glass (left of the dotted line you should be able to see in the picture).
Part number is 8D0-857-535-H
These are VERY hard to find in the US. Price is $125 shipped to lower 48 US states only. I will not ship outside the US, sorry.
