Volkswagen Polo IV - Stolen VW Polo wing mirror - replacement? - h0kum

1998 VW Polo 1.4. Scumbags nicked my wing mirror. Not the whole thing, just the glass. Guess someone did the same to them and they wanted a free replacement.

The wing is now exposed, there's a kind of circular mounting plate and a couple of wires hanging off.

How would I go about getting a replacement? I've searched eBay and Google but only found either entire wing mirror setups or the glass. I assume the latter is all I need, however it's not clear if this will just clip in or if I'm missing anything vital to fit it.

Would this do it: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Electric-Wing-Mirror-Glass-NS-L...1 ?

That looks like the correct part.The glass just clips onto the round support plate.The 2 wires are for the heating element,but you can fit a non heated type and tape over the 2 connectors.hth
