Technical specifications and fitment

The presented mirror belongs to the Wing Mirrors category and is designed for installation on the front left side of the vehicle. The construction, based on the original Audi design, guarantees the preservation of proper geometry, viewing angles, and compatibility with the door mounts of the A3 8V model. As a result, this component can be used both for replacing a damaged mirror and for restoring the vehicle to the manufacturer's original specifications.

Scuba Blue Metallic X5Q body color

A significant advantage of this mirror is its original Scuba Blue Metallic X5Q color, which allows for an aesthetic match with the factory body paint. The metallic paint coating provides a characteristic depth of color and good interaction with light reflections, resulting in a cohesive look for the entire side of the vehicle. In many cases, this allows for limiting paintwork to only necessary corrections, without the need for a full repaint of the component.

Practical application in body repairs

This wing mirror is particularly useful in situations where the side area of the vehicle has been damaged – e.g., during a parking collision or scraping against an obstacle. Using an original Audi component allows you to:

• maintain the correct side body line and factory fitment of elements,
• preserve consistency with the factory Scuba Blue Metallic X5Q paint shade,
• minimize the risk of installation problems resulting from dimensional differences in aftermarket replacements.

This makes the mirror a functional solution for both body and paint shops and individual users who expect the most faithful restoration of the vehicle's pre-damage condition.

Condition of the item and benefits of choosing a used part

The offered component is a used part, which allows for cost optimization of repairs while maintaining the original Audi build quality. In practice, this means the ability to use a factory mirror at a more attractive price than a new part, while retaining the correct shape, mounts, and visual characteristics. For many users, this is a reasonable compromise between budget and compliance with the manufacturer's design.

Support in selection by OEM numbers and paint code

When selecting a mirror for a specific Audi A3 8V, it is crucial to verify compatibility using catalog numbers and the paint code.
