Darren - I've sent you a PM about the mirror.  If it's up for grabs and I'm not too late then that'd be brilliant thanks.

The part you are talking about is part of the clear plastic cover for the indicator, mine was broken when someone hit the projecting part and cracked it, pushing the whole thing back so that the small indicator part in the mirror was forced inside the casing.
Probably not explaining it very well, but I needed to replace the centre clear plastic portion. the dealer fitted it while I waited, total cost £32

On closer inspection, it looks like the small missing bit has been snapped off the larger plastic bit.  It's barely noticeable unless you're sitting in the car - but it's still something I want to get sorted.  I don't know how it could have happened - as there is definitely not scuffs or marks on the mirror.

My old Golf had this missing too, although my mirror had a stone crack on the clear plastic part further round the mirror, they must just fall off really easy?

Why's that Asker, does he do Taxidermy with his GTD?

I'll leave it to Keith to enlighten us.  :smiley:
No I don't do Taxidermy but I would like to Taxiderm the tosser that designed the complete mirror. It was when it flicked back that the cover fell off and the indicator was hanging by its wires.

p3eps thats the indicator tell-tail your talking about it broke of on mine but you can still see it operate through the square hole. So if you want it perfect you need a new indicator, turn signal indicator left - 1K5 949 101 - £27.73 but they list a black and grey one its bleeding clear.

A total new left hand mirror is - 1K1 857 507 CD 9B9 - £189.37 in satin black

Got it today - muchos gracias!
I'll have a closer look at the weekend (hopefully its not raining!)
The mirror take-apart on the first page looks a bit scary.  I'll just have to hope I don't shatter the glass when I ping it off  :rolleyes:
