Ok, so as per my other thread, Audi are wanting to charge me circa £400 for parts for my wing mirror, which constitutes merely the glass, a new cap and the indicator lens.
I know their prices are usually steep but this is a disgrace to be honest. If that's just for those few bits, how much would a whole unit be, £6-700?, that means both wing mirrors would account for over 5% of the total cost of the car, which is farcical.
I appreciate that some bits, like the dimming glass, aren't cheap but these prices are obviously being marked up a huge amount.
Does anyone know any sources for cheaper parts? I know I could try a breaker's but I'd likely have to get the mirror re-painted (unless I was very lucky with colour) and the chances of finding one with dimming glass in it are remote too so I don't really see the point.
