Good idea. I did think it's the sort of part I could get a pattern or second hand one for.

Why not buy a 2nd hand mirror off eBay and swap it? it's only 3 bolts and a connector.


Definitely the most practical and cost effective solution  :smiley:

Agreed much easier to stomach. Looks like an electric folding mirror can be had for a £100 or so.

Hi all, finally getting round to this job. This is what I need right?
Just after a sense check as eBay says it does not fit my mark 7 GTI

In the item title it looks like it’s for a mk8 (or at least it does how it opens up in my screen) but the photo looks like a mk7 mirror and the blurb certainly refers to a mk7.
