Am I going crazy are the side mirrors different sizes
Am I going crazy are the side mirrors different sizes
Just got up half Dead from lastnite decided warm up me car as it was frozen and I noticed that the drivers side door mirror is longer then the passenger side.
I have only had the GTi for less then a week so am still picking things up.
Now is this normally or does it mean that 1 side mirror was hit and replaced with the wrong one.
Please help peeps

Yup, perfectly normal! Cost you roughly £100 (ish) for a driver's side smaller electric and heated mirror, unpainted. Some GTi's left the dealerships with two smaller or two larger mirrors, if the owner picked up on it apparently it could be changed at the time of purchase!
The larger mirror's glass area width is 150mm, the smaller is 130mm IIRC.

Small Size (Jap) - 130mm
Average Size (Euro) - 150mm
Large - 170mm (not sure where these are mostly based)
Best off having a word with VAGPARTS mate they should be able to help you out and BTW the mirrors are in 3 parts
Cheers
Hi, if anyone is interested, I have a 'large' cap, i.e. same size as drivers side, but for the passenger side. (150mm)
Its pre-painted in Reflex silver. Any interest? I have two for sale, both painted, couple of minor marks on each however. Overall perfect (painted by VW)
then all you would need is the glass to fit it
p.s. 170mm is AUS I think
