Looking for heated/powered mirrors from a mk5 Polo, need to be the small ones, left, right or both
Colour not important, they'll be resprayed anyway. Do need to be in working order though...
One more thing; shipping to the Netherlands is part of the deal- I can't drive towards you to get them
Thanks!
Edit --> Manual mirrors welcome too! (Look below)

Thanks Josh, I'll ring a different dealer tomorrow to double check.
I've asked on a German forum tonight if they know if the part is available on the continent. They said it should be, even if the VW Parts guy says it's not- they advised me to find another dealer or even someone else at the same dealer to figure it out...
So if it fails, I'll definitely give you a shout (excellent offer mate!). I'll update this thread too if anything changes. I hope I can lose the powered mirros for some tasty manual Mk5 bits, I know it sounds crazy but I love the look and the manual ones are a lot less hassle to fit.

Is there such a thing as a manual Mk5 mirror?

if you want a small right side mirror, try at
www.abwsa.ch
It's a scrap center here in Switzerland...I don't know if they can send things up to UK but on the web page you can search the parts you want...
it's only in german and english...
look for a right mirro
(our left mirror is the big one...driver is on the left

)

True indeed, can't find the Mk5 item. BUT! You did made me think and I'll be phoning the local breakers today. Probably cheaper than the dealership.
So Ashley, have you fitted the new mirrors then?

if you maen the ones i sent you fotos of then nope but last night i was working on them and they should be a little different to when i bought them but the changes are subtle and secret until i finish them and get some spraying done, this could be soon as my contract at work wasnt renued so ive got 3 weeks payed holliday

Given the new forum rules, this is just a short message to say I've got the mirrors (notice the sigpic). Thanks everyone for the help!
