Fitting Folding Mirrors to the Mk7 Golf

[NSNO]

I'm currently weighing up whether to get them or not. My old 2003 car had folding mirrors so it is disappointing that they don't come as standard on the GTI 40 (or even available as an option here). I have only just bought the car and I'm getting tints and car protection done to it so I'm finding it hard to justify another $1,000 on top of that for a pair of mirrors.

Having said that. I just like the look when they fold up as you park and they are useful if you park on a narrow street. Yes I know it's just as easy to fold them yourself but I'd prefer them to do it in unison and it looks stupid that you have a nice Golf but then you have to manually fold in the mirrors.

Does anyone know that if I order the black gloss mirrors for the GTI 40, do they come with puddle lights?

WOW.... that is a lot for folding mirrors.

You need to decide if you want them at that cost - 2 folding mirrors and the controller.

VW told me they would terminate the electrical warranty on doors if not VW genuine parts.

I could have brought mirrors for LHD car for $550 and they could have been installed but then they won't work properly on RHD car.

VW Central was originally selling parts for almost $1,000 but Dean is now price matching dealer cost and their cost for installation was very fair. They spent 1 hour installing and 2 hours coding. Their competitor was $165/hour. So, for me, it was a fair deal and value for my money and I appreciate professionalism.

Read some off the horror stories about guys who brought the knock off junk on eBay. You may very well change your mind as to what is value for your money.

Can you do the mirrors on a B7 Passat to do that. I have tried coding mine to do it but they dont.
