Used Audi A3 wing mirror: how to buy one that fits

To buy the right used Audi A3 wing mirror, match the side, the generation, your paint colour code, and the features your car has. A wing mirror is handed and trim-specific, so a genuine used one fits and looks factory for a fraction of the price of new, as long as you order the correct version.

Nearside or offside?

Mirrors are handed. Nearside is the kerb (passenger) side, the left on a UK car, and offside is the driver's side, the right. Order the side that matches the mirror you need, because the two are not interchangeable.

Which A3 do you have?

The mirror changed across the generations and they do not swap over. The 8P ran from 2003 to 2012, the 8V from 2012 to 2020, and the 8Y from 2020. Confirm your generation, which your registration makes certain, before you order.

How do I get the colour right?

Most A3 mirror caps are colour coded to the body, though many owners run them in a contrasting finish. Match your paint colour code, found on the VIN plate or the door shut, or specify the finish you want. A colour matched cap goes straight on, and the listing should state the colour.

Which features does my mirror need?

Match the features your car has. A3 mirrors can be heated, power-folding, auto-dimming, and fitted with memory or side assist (blind spot) on higher trims, and the number of wires in the plug reflects this. A simpler mirror will not provide features your car expects, and a more complex one may not plug in. Confirm the plug and features match your specification.
