If it's your driver side mirror then around £27 from Vagparts.

Just a case of how soon you need it.

Umm this is strange?? I broke mine the other month trying to fit the INPRO smoked indicator lenses, so bought one from my VW dealer for £6.85?!

Dunno why you are getting charged more!

P.S. Mine was also for the drivers side - so had the little blind spot part at the end of the glass, and has the heated element stuck onto the back of the glass.
