My exterior rear view mirror is black plastic, was that what came on the Europena '72 '6 cars or was it the standard chrome mirror you see in the attached image. Thanks for the help. Karl

If they're black plastic & have a real OEM part number on them, then they're off of a late 70's Scirocco, Rabitt or Dasher. However, I'm not sure if 924s' came w/ them.

Nope, 924's did not come with them - FWIW

I've read and heard that all OEM S/S passenger-side mirrors are really driver-side mirrors - turned upside down ...

Fact or Fiction? unsure.gif

as for the housing - correct

but the passenger side mirror has sphere glass

Someone gave me a an OEM mirror but the glass was broken. I thought about replacing with regular mirrored glass, but now I'm thinking I'll try to find the 'spherical' glass - thanks biggrin.gif

Where the heck do you find something like that?!

My first attempt will be a local automotive glass shop.

If that doesn't pan out, I guess I'll have to get a passenger-side mirror off of a car at a boneyard, and have it cut down to size confused24.gif

I'll let you know what happens ... shades.gif
