How to Remove and Install Mirror Caps on Audi S3 8V, Carbon Fiber Edition

Welcome fellow S3 fanatics, it’s Peter, your Audi S3 Fanatic! Ever since I took delivery of my S3, I have wanted to accent it with some carbon fiber. I started with a CF rear diffuser and recently took delivery of CF mirror caps. Both my rear diffuser and mirror caps were purchased from China.

Yes, you take a gamble buying parts made in China but IMHO, several products sold by US venders for our S3, are Chinese made. With the good luck I had for my rear diffuser, I thought, why not take another chance on the mirror caps. These are with side assist.

Well, I can tell you, these mirror caps are SPOT ON! Check out my video for a full DIY tutorial and review of these CF mirror caps.

Purchase from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/3K-Carbon-Fiber-Mirror-Cover-for-Audi-A3-S3-RS3-with-Assist-Light-2014-2016-OEM/152945670508?hash=item239c45b96c:g:ryEAAOSwLdBaDopV

Can someone tell me the size and length of the bolt/screw that in the centre that keeps the motor in?

Thank you! Just used this guide to install a pair of oem caps on my a3. The clips were definitely tricky but luckily I didnt break a single one.

Hi Peter, my 2016 S3 has auto fold mirrors. Can I still push the whole housing back to get proper access. Probably not shown on your video, but I have seen others push it back slightly.

Darland says:

I found the easiest way to remove my mirror cap was to misjudge the gap between my car and an oncoming vehicle!

Bruce Ratskoff says:

Should I get the mirror caps and spoiler from the same place? Does that matter? Any comment on Monaco in CA? Thx

Stephen Cerqueira says:

Thanks for the DIY. My RS3 has an additional wire on the back of the mirror opposite side to the two in your S3. I think it’s the side assist but left the mirror there hanging!

Sully says:

Hey just one question bro, for the audi s3 side mirror casing can i just remove and replace it with a new one without taking the mirror off i’m sure?
