Was the Octavia sold in Japan?

V666 VRS · 21-01-2008, 15:10

Bit of a new question for you all. As title, reason i'm asking is because i used to have a 2003 Focus and i had some mirrors imported from Japan due to them being electrically folding. Some of the driving i do is down VERY tight lanes and opening the window in the Octy on these rainy days is a bit of a pain (Lazy i know) So if anyone knows if and what countries the Octavia had electrcally folding mirrors i would be very greatfull for the info. Thanks in advance for any help.

can you not get kits for it?

not sold in japan, but I think they either come with or are an option on the L&K

I'v searched but cant see kits listed. If they come on the L&K then great i can search for them as i search for the black carpet.

Found the partnumber for the folding mirrors. Hope this helps;

Cheers mate

Have you got the part number for the other side aswell? I'm assuming that is the N/s for right hand drive. All i need is the O/s and a relay then i'll be set. (hopefully)

I think it is the partnumber listed underneath. I know it says left as well but I think its a mistake in the list.

Have found the numbers for the non blue mirrors as well;

Think you will need a different mirror control switch as well.

I bet the folding mirrors will be a silly price too!!

Plus you lose about 2 foot of rear view each

Plus i'm not going for the modded look on the outside. I'v got a modded Focus that i'v given to the wife and when i drive it now, i feel like a right chav

I suppose that comes with being the wrong side of 30 though.
