S4 / RS4 (B5 Platform) Discussion Discussion forum for the B5 Audi S4 & RS4 produced from 1998-2002

Is this S4 or RS4 mirror cover? Looks too shiny to be RS4 (the claim). Also, can the damage be fixed

Default looks like a s4 to me, you would have to polish out the damage and then polish the other side to

make them match

Default No, it is a clear-coated aluminum housing. I would suggest they are cleared after you

refinish them. Post pics when you're done.
