Hi Jack,

It was you that I learned about these from! 

Thanks,

Also, at a recent VW car show I saw a Doka with similar mirrors but more plastic and a bit larger.  I prefer mine but I was surprised to see there was another direct fit option with a similar shape on the door.  I wondered what those were?  Replacements or original?
