Re: wing mirrors
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.

It doesn't matter, you can swap the guts over; just use the shell from your donor mirror.Gary406 wrote:ahh the question is tho

And yes D8/D9 wing mirrors are interchangeable; I've got D9 mirrors on mine!

Re: wing mirrors
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.

Re: wing mirrors
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!406executiveHDI wrote:Right, and the D9 ones are better then?

Re: wing mirrors
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
