B5 A4 door mirrors - Two different shapes?

[Dan Gliballs]

Just trying to work out if the shape got facelifted or not?

The standard ones I had on my 1999 A6 looked a funkier shape than standard A4 mirrors on Ebay.

Cheers

Yep, 2 different shapes, pre and post-facelift.

Pre-facelift has a blunter shape towards the outside, while post-facelift has more of a taper / trapezoid shape.

At least we didnt get stuck with the stubby ones like the early US models, more confusion then

 

[Siena]

^^^ Yes, lol...those stubby's look like tennis bats.

 

[Dan Gliballs]

So ideally I should be looking for 2000-2001 mirrors?

 

[Siena]

^^^ Is your car facelift?

 

[Dan Gliballs]

Nope.

Are they different mountings?

 

[Dan Gliballs]

Just need to get rid of the daft mirrors that are on it lol

 

[Siena]

Mountings are the same, and I'm glad you're getting rid of the M3 replicas you're currently sporting.

They came with the car,...............and I've put up with them for nearly 3 years lol

Somebody went to the trouble of spraying/fitting a rear RS4 spoiler and some RS4 reps, but they ran out of taste when they got to the mirrors. They do actually FUNCTION very well as mirrors though oddly enough

Hey Gavin, have you got a new job already???

You could always fit some Passat items... like I'm doing!

 

[rasA4]

I thought you was bought some from someone on here?

 

[Geeman]

Nope... first time I've mentioned it on here I think.

Got them from a guy I know who was breaking a Passat 1.8T. Got a few other bits off him too.

Will post pics when I get them on... should be this weekend. They'd bolt straight on, but the electrical connectors are different.
