Wing MIRROR

Post by Petrol_Head »

VW spares are day light robbers.

They want roughly £29 just for ONE mirror. i dont need the electric motor (thank god.. because they probably would charge 100 for them) but anyway.. to the reason of this topic......

Has anyone used the cheap alternatives you can stick over the mirror that looks just like the old one????

ITS roughly £7 for ones that stick on... however i wanted peoples opinion if they had used them in the past?

Have you tried Volksapart in Welling they're quite reasonable and have all manner of spares new and used.
