Has any one changed the wing mirrors that power fold and are heated. i have seen a pair on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=250212064203&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=015
are these good quality or has anybody seen then any where else. Are these easy to change?
How much will a dealer charge to change them?

Many Thanks

User 'sweden' posted a picture of his EOS with the chrome mirrors. See http://www.vweosclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=829.

May be worth sending a private message, although I think it's a simple replacement for the existing wing mirror covers. I doubt you'll want to involve your dealer...

Sharp looking Eos. I realize the wheels and rear view mirrors are not stock. I'm wondering if something was done with the side metal or perhaps the fenders (especially the rear ones.)

I suspect the wheel treatment is around $2000-$3000 extra. Wish I had those wheels on mine!

You should be able to get the mirrors from your local VW agent as they are a standard option for the VR6 model in USA ref: www.vw.com
This is one of the many examples of VW's stange policy of one factory making the cars with different spec's and options for different markets.
Colours are another example Candy white is not available in the UK neither is
moonrock grey leather. I could drone on about seat draws being a build option in Ireland but not in the UK and yes they are dirt cheap in euros and I want some on mine when I get it, looks like I will have to buy the parts and fit them myself.

All manufacturers' local marketing depts think they know what the buyers want and dictate what will be available in their market to the manufacturer. Sometimes they get it right but most times they get it at least a bit wrong.

The chrome mirror housings are available from OEMpl.us along with many other VW EoS OEM Parts. They are quite involved to install, does not appear to be a do it yourself project. They also have carbon fiber housings for a one of a kind look.

I replaced the standard mirrors on my US EoS with the Aspherical/Convex Mirror Set - Blue mirrors used in the Rest of World (RoW). Quite the improvement in night driving enjoyment. This is a DIY project, did it myself in 10 minutes.

I also got the VW RoW VW Warning Triangle that fits in the trunk. It gets held in by those two straps in the back that some of you USA owners might have wondered why they were there.
