Been done before I think. I'm sure somebody has taken one from an Audi and fitted it. Bit of a pain to do though, as the wiring can be tricky to feed. And the mirrors themselves tend to be fairly hefty in size, which looks odd.

But that aside, it's possible and not too hard to track down the parts, so go for it :)

Done it, audi a3 mirror in black without auto washer sensor fits straight on, wiring, 2 wires +V and -V and a third into reverse going pos when in reverse (I didnt bother) Same size as std but more rounded!

Sweet! It wasn't the A3 mirror I was reading about before, it was from a bigger Audi, which would explain the size difference.

Any pics?
