Post by: barry-gti on 31 March 2010, 08:52: They're not hard at all. i followed the guide on uk-mkivs, the first side took a bit longer than expected but once i knew what i was doing i had the other side done within 20mins.

Me and BaV Went to get a mirror from the breakers and i had it off within 5 mins. its simples!

Post by: DarkGti on 31 March 2010, 14:17: all you do is swap the bigger golf wing mirror arm with the smaller lupo mirror arm then screw the golf mirror motor back to the lupo arm then clip/scew the rest of the lupo miror bit to the lupo arm, job done lupo wing mirrors on a golf!

Post by: chrisr103 on 31 March 2010, 19:46: Fitted a set of Seat Arosa mirrors to mine last week, Took about an hour from start to finish & even converted them from Manual mirrors to Electric ones.

As for the visibility my Arosa drivers side mirror is convexed & has a Blind spot part on it so good visibility all round

Well worth the effort :cool:

And, I didnt use my golf mirror spring on the arm of the mirror, I used the Lupo ones.

The base plate? as in the part thats on the door? i'm sure they're the same? or are Lupo/Arosa ones smaller in some way?
Title: Re: lupo wing mirrors fitting to mk4 golf
Post by: DarkGti on 01 April 2010, 22:10: yea thats the base plate, they are smaller and a different shape! :wink:
Title: Re: lupo wing mirrors fitting to mk4 golf
Post by: jonnyturbo on 01 April 2010, 22:43: I don't understand how the golf arm fits inside the lupo casing? Also does the lupo manual mirror havin mounting points for the golf arm / motor?
Title: Re: lupo wing mirrors fitting to mk4 golf
Post by: DarkGti on 01 April 2010, 22:53: the golf arm dosent fit inside the lupo casing!! the lupo arm fits on the golf base plate!
Title: Re: lupo wing mirrors fitting to mk4 golf
Post by: chrisr103 on 01 April 2010, 22:55: Read the guide it shows the mirrors stripped down & taking the the original arm off the base plate & leaving the mounting pin & then fitting the Lupo mirrors (Complete with arm) onto the MK4 base plate.

Title: Re: lupo wing mirrors fitting to mk4 golf
Post by: DarkGti on 01 April 2010, 23:24: it will be the same Hassle if you get the electric or manual!
Title: Re: lupo wing mirrors fitting to mk4 golf
Post by: chrisr103 on 01 April 2010, 23:30: Get the manual ones, They will be cheaper to buy & its 3 screws to make them into electric when you swap the motor off your mk4 mirrors

Post by: GJSEB79 on 02 April 2010, 16:51: like those mk5 mirrors aswell have you had the orignal indicators whole blanked of, also did you just run you wire from the indicators to mirror to wire the lights up mate
Title: Re: lupo wing mirrors fitting to mk4 golf
Post by: Wazzzer on 02 April 2010, 19:30: I bought some wing blanks that are meant for the facelift Sharan and had them sprayed, the wires for the indicators run to the hazard switch

Technically they aren't from a mk5 as they have different baseplates and wiring, they are from the Brazilian Mk4.5 which used mk4 doors with mk5 mirrors, making them plug and play :wink:
