Yep they look really sweet IMO, and a popular mod amongst the VW scene.

Even if they are an option on the matt alu mirrors, then it will be very costly, as you can't buy the mirror backing on it's own; you have to buy the whole mirror!

Many left-hand drive German cars have smaller passenger mirrors. They don't reverse it for the UK market. Late 80's E-class Mercs and 190's had noticably different mirrors on the passenger side. Something to do with blind spots.

Yeah, I thought that (the passenger side) It looks narrower...... :roll:
have a look at these two threads and the right hand side mirrors look smaller on these cars aswell.

It had the original alu mirrors when I bought it. I am currently looking for a small mirror for the left side.

I remember looking at the MKIV R32 mirror part numbers and discovering that there are indeed different size mirrors for the drivers / passenger - for LHD or RHD versions.. can only assume the non Alloy ones on cars in the continent were similar on the RS4 - when I next have ETKA open at home I'll have a look see.

If I recall the Mk4 Anniversary and R32 came with the smaller mirrors from the factory compared to the normal Mk4's. Both mirrors on the R32 even UK cars were the same size IIRC.
