Full service today, changed the fuel filter for probably the first time in its life so it’ll be interesting to see whether there is a increase in mpg from this lot of work!

And fitted some R32 pedals while waiting on the thread sealant setting.

According to Travelin-Lite 2004+
https://travelinlite-transporters.co.uk ... Caddy+life
VW Caddy Life Wing Mirrors Upgrade

Fits 2004 Onwards

This is a great upgrade from the standard boring caddy mirrors that are an odd shape.

Genuine VW driver side mirror
Genuine VW passenger side mirror
Quality aftermarket primed mirror covers
Quality aftermarket electric heated glass
RHD vehicles only

Please note the aerial and gps will need to be removed from your original mirrors and swapped over to the new mirrors.

They are a direct fit. Easiest job you'll do. If memory serves its either 2 or 3 torx bolts & that's it!

Yip, as others have said, a direct fit. I bought mine from VW commercial, cheaper than EBay and same price as few other online sellers.

Be wary of buying from France/Germany, etc… the mirrors from a left hand drive van are different and the mirror curves are also different and you won’t get much of a rear view!
