S8 mirrors

Post by 951 » Mon Mar 10, 2008 11:28 pm

Anyone know if the S8 mirrors of a 98 car can be made to fit a b5 s4/a4 (pre or post face lift as i have both types of mirrors). I know the bases are different but wondered if the housings will fit as the s8 mirror glass is listed with an 8do part number !!

I didnt know the s8 mirrors were folding . Ive tried to get the proper b5 mirrors but they always seem to fetch a lot of money and i didnt like the look of the plastic ones like you see on ebay and then these s8 mirrors have turned up cheap so i think they may be worth a try !!

The S8 had folding mirrors maybe as part of an option package.

The 1998 S8 I am breaking has these folding mirrors.

JeffW has folding mirrors on his Goodwood Green RS4, the previous owner did quite a few mods to the car.

Maybe send him a PM . . ?

It didnt go quite according to plan as the o/s mirror was just a standard plastic one painted silver but at least i got the n/s. The mounts are different so i might just use the chrome housing on my mirrors. Hiow do you tell if the one i have got is a folding type or not ??
