I would be interested in this too... related (probably dumb) question, but did all S3 have heated wing mirrors?
all 8l's a3's and s3's had heated mirrors as standard, auto dipping wing mirrors were optional though (on SA/ZA spec models afaik)

Why are you stripping it out? Is it broke... I'll be on the hunt to get one for mine, as it had one fitted as standard, but it broke and was replaced by a basic mirror.I have auto dim rear view that I’m going to strip out. Does this mean the wing mirrors are auto dim?
I’ve never noticed it. The auto dim rear view however is an obvious difference

Something like this one?

Thanks Warren.
Darrell,
They even have them in chrome if you are hung up on keeping that feature.

Has anyone got a picture of 8l s3 folding mirror switch?
The only thing I can’t work out from the wiring diagram is what the ‘Inter’ is on the left hand mirror, anyone got any ideas?
I think you’ll struggle to do this mod and keep the aluminium housings unless you can find some of the original A3/S3 8L folding mirrors which are rarer than rocking horse sh1t...+1 Folding Alu mirrors
What about a passenger mirror from a German model have you tried ebay.de ?
Yeah, looked mate. Still seem to be all stubby mirrors. If anyone knows of any let me know as I’ve got the passenger one ready to go....
wouldn't the motors / bases be swappable?
so if you get your hands on a motorized unit + all relevant boards/switches. Ditch the stumpy housing and switch all the good stuff into the regular sized housings?

If you select 8l folding wing mirrors are £850 +vat
It must be doable with wing mirror guts that are still available if hazzy days can get the bits. Might be worth enquiring and playing dumb and see how they do it
