do D9 wing mirrors fit straight on a D8 ?

Late spec D8 ones do, and they're the same as D9 ones. I've got the later spec mirrors on mine, and they came off a car with electric heated mirrors so they just plugged straight in and worked with the memory perfectly straight away.

ahh the question is tho

are there any D9 mirrors that are manual , i can bet there all electric

It doesn't matter, you can swap the guts over; just use the shell from your donor mirror.
And yes D8/D9 wing mirrors are interchangeable; I've got D9 mirrors on mine!

ok thanks teamy, think i might change mine D9 look a little bit better

whats better about the d9 mirrors i have them they dont seem to look much different

The shape around the hinge point.

Right, and the D9 ones are better then?

Actually there are no D9 mirrors. I've seen D8's with late spec mirrors amd D9's with the old ones that came factory fitted. Luckily mine is a 98 D8 and has the late spec ones factory fitted.

To be honest I didn't order D9 ones intentionally, it was when I added 'leccy mirrors to the LX before it took swimming lessons. That was before I found this wonderful place and didn't have a clue what a D8/D9 was!

D8 D9 initally confused me initially i thought why dont we refer to phase 1 and phase 2 but imagine typing that in every time d8/d9 is so convenient
