RS4 Electric folding mirrors questions

[Ash_s3]

If an RS4 (56 plate) had electric folding mirrors specced from the factory, are they the normal A4 looking mirrors as opposed to the normal RS4 ones with the 2 bits securing it to the mirror base?

Should the casings be aluminium or were they painted silver plastic?

Many thanks

Folding mirrors will look like normal A4 mirrors not sure if they came with ally trim but the shape would be a stock A4 shape.

Thank you docurley, I've just done a bit of digging and found that cabriolets only came with the A4 shape mirrors.

Not sure about the aluminium casings though, take it these were another option?

Cheers

It's only paint on B7's Ash. Billet aluminium was B5's and C5's.

Thanks Marc, didn't realise that at all

My previous S3s have had the alu casings fitted

Believe they changed around the era of the B6 S4. 2003 MY has solid alu mirrors like my Dolphin grey Avant did. 2004 MY got RNSE Navigation, but ditched the solid alu mirrors for plastic mirror casings

My 2005 b7 s4 had proper alloy mirrors
