Some clown has hit my wing mirror while it was parked. Everything is OK
except the glass. This is heated (with two leads to it). Anyone any
suggestions for cheapest replacement method?



Re: Golf Mk 3 wing mirror


a new one from GSF or from a scrappy.

Re: Golf Mk 3 wing mirror

I have used GSF in Southampton many times over the past 3 years, and find it
very hard to fault them. The only things i would suggest getting from a
dealership opposed to the likes of GSF are Wishbones, bushes and body
panels.

Antony (why@doyoask.com) gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying :


I don't know about for the german marques, but GSF's quality can be very
poor indeed for exhausts for PSA - poor fit, bad boom, short life. I'd
imagine they source exhausts for all brands from one supplier.

You can definitely buy better from other (more "mainstream") factors on
some stuff, but for other stuff, you can't beat GSF or EuroCarParts.

For a mirror glass, though, as long as it's a "proper" heated one with tint
if appropriate (IIRC my Mk3 Golfs had tinted mirrors), then go with the
price. Avoid the Halfrauds etc stick-on-tat cover mirrors.

Well, you did say "cheapest".  That's what some scrote took from my last
car, on the one day in 12 years that I left it parked on the street.  It was
about £15 from a GM dealer to give you some idea of price.
