I need an early (77) UK drivers or US passengers side mirror (the black adjust by hand type). Someone suggested when i first joined this board that one form an Audi 50 would fit but I cant find one here, I dont believe that the Audi 50 was sold down under. I have so many VW mirrors as everytime I see a new one that shape, I get it, but none of the mounts fit and the mirror part cant be changed over from mount to mount as the porsche one has the female at the top and the VW at the bottom. Now what I would really like is either.... someone who has one and would be willing to sell it to me (yeah I know post in the parts wanted section). Someone who could pass on contact details for a breakers in there country that would have one and would post international. or any other ideas about how to get one real quick.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what would be involved in putting the newer color coded style on (besides painting) do they use the same holes? are any extra holes needed?? Does the mirrom from an Audi 50 really fit??? are there any VW's with this mirror??

I think I have one from my 77 1/2 car. I know I have the parts for the right side which was an option at the time. I will look.

um... $1000 plus postage, how about a trade, I have a lefthanded screw driver and an impact resistant hammer available oh I also have a dohickey remover and thingy tightener if they would be of any use.

or maybe I should just get a set of the later colored ones and respray the car to match?

I havent had the time to go out and take a picture yet (i no lame excuse but its the truth) so I quickly found one on the net today if you need a better one let me know and I will go and back the car out of the garage (without a mirror) and take one because my camera wont take a pic in the garage without a flash or major setting changes and a tripod (digital SLR) and I have lent my flash to someone.
