| Mirror mirror on the wall Hi Guys, Greetings from overseas, Belgium to be more specific...  I've just bought a Skoda Octavia (facelift) and I've got a small question for you: the mirrors I have now are the same size, but quite big. I noticed that on "older" models (prior to the facelift) we have a big driver-mirror and a small passenger mirror... Now, what I was wondering: since you guys have the steering wheel on the wrong side (just kidding  ) do you have a small mirror on the passenger-side as well?If that is the case, I would go for 2 small mirrors. I think it would improve the look. Additional question: if it exists, does anybody has the partnumber for that smaller UK passenger-side mirror? Cheers Berre |

| Hi Berre and welcome Unfortunately I have no idea in regard to the answer of your question. Others here might well reflect some light (pun intentional) on query! Lee |

| Welcome, Berre.  My post-facelift mirrors are both the same size, namely BIG. If there is such a thing as a small rhd passenger mirror, any fixing threads would of course be in inches rather than metric, and the controls would be reversed. (Just joking. )

| I think Skoda has always fitted the larger mirrors on both sides. However I know VW fitted smaller passenger mirros to the Polo and Lupo which I think should be compatible. No idea on part numbers though.

| indeed, VW and audi have smaller mirrors on the passenger's side, both in the UK as in the rest of the world that's why a lot of "german-style" tuning fanatics have 2 small mirrors... I do think that skoda has the same thing, check this link out (thx to mannyo's site): euro-type http://www.octaviars.com/tomica1.JPG UK-type http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jotero/nick2.jpg cheers berre Last edited by berre; 23-06-2004 at 08:25. |
