Oh man. Hopefully they didn't damage the car too badly during removal - bar the inevitable wiring loom being cut.

Good time to do some 'colour coding' if you ask me!

Specific to RS5 I think. No damage to the car other than the mirror brackets but will need door dismantling to replace everything including the wiring loom,
It happened at lunch time in the overspill car park of a sports centre where I have parked regularly.

That's a stomach churner as you return to your car, very sorry to hear your news. Do you think the thief knew what they were dealing with?

Yes they know there is a market for RS mirrors. Dealer tells me of one chap who had 3 lots stolen and ended up spraying body colour
