Purpose and fitment

The presented mirror housing is dedicated to Audi models from the A3 and S3 8P generation family, the compact Q3 8U SUV, and the A6 C6 sedan, for the right side. Thanks to its factory origin, the proper proportions, body lines, and mounting geometry are maintained, which facilitates installation and ensures a consistent appearance with other body elements.

Positioning on the right side of the vehicle allows for precise replacement of the damaged housing without interfering with the mirror structure, glass, or electrical installation. This is a practical solution for post-accident repairs, parking scrapes, or localized exterior side area restoration.

Color and paint finish

The Meteor Grey Pearl Metallic – Z7H shade is a distinctive pearlescent grey paint from the Audi palette, ensuring consistency with the factory body paint. The pearlescent structure of the coating harmonizes well with the side line of the car, emphasizing the shape of the mirror and minimizing visual differences between the new housing and the remaining body panels.

For users who want to maintain the original character of the vehicle, a ready-to-install, painted housing means saving time and costs associated with additional painting and color matching at a paint shop.

Performance characteristics

The mirror housing belongs to the Mirror parts group, responsible for protecting the adjustment mechanism, the mirror glass, and any additional elements (e.g., turn signal, if present in the given mirror type). Replacing the housing alone is often sufficient for typical operational damage, which allows for limiting the scope of repair and service costs.

As a used part, the product represents a reasonable compromise between price and maintaining the manufacturer's original specifications. This solution is particularly beneficial for repairs of older vehicles, where functionality, correct fitment, and color consistency with the body are the priority.

Benefits of using an original mirror housing

• Factory fitment to the body lines and mirror structure in Audi A3 S3 8P, Q3 8U, and A6 C6 models.
• Meteor Grey Pearl Metallic – Z7H color consistent with the Audi paint palette, making it easy to maintain a cohesive vehicle appearance.
• Possibility to replace only the outer housing without interfering with the mirror's mechanics or electronics.
• Time and cost savings compared to purchasing a new, complete mirror.
