Wingmirror Damage

[Wavey Dynamicist]

After 65k my nearside win mirror is looking a bit battered.. Heavily stone chipped and the paint is peeling from a section.

Mirror

If like to get this renewed/repainted. Question is what's the best course of action? I assume you can buy replacement housing from Audi but the price ive heard stings.. Any other routes?

Also, my near side front foglight is cracked so I'll need to replace that. Anyone got P/N?

If you want audi to do it you looking at £200/£250 to do job...before i sold mine i had to replace a full mirror as someone side swipt it and they quoted insurance company £700 to replace...silly money!

That mirror has been repainted at some point and the new paint hasn't taken that well to the original finish - it doesn't look to have been keyed in?

Anyway. A new mirror housing is a couple of quid short of £300 each from Audi from what i remember, as I had both mine replaced previously. The most cost effective way is get a body Shop to strip and repaint them.

Dunno if they'd be suitable?

I just had mine resprayed as part of my stone chip resurrection. I'm very pleased with the outcome.

I ended by buying a pair of mirrors when my driver side mirror got swiped. The N/S is going spare - give me a shout if you want it.

It the whole mirror inc. internals, electrics, mount etc.

Just get the plastic painted mate. Take the cover off £30-£40. Job done.
