The_Dude 0 Posted October 10, 2008 try dubdesignindustries.com (i think) or maybe ebay.com or even maybe the 'tex. that's where i would try intially just off the top of my head. if not, perhaps you could drop one of our US members a pm and ask them to get them for you? this assumes that vw still sell them of course....

Phil K 0 Posted October 10, 2008 VW never made the blue tinted lens - I think it was DDI that had them specially made... I have a pair of these brand new and unused if anyone local is interested? (really can't be bothered to arange posting so would insist on collection only) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Phil K, How much are you looking for on the pair of DDI lenses - Could I fit them straight over the top of the existing ones? Ian :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Dunno really £35? Not keen on posting though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Dude 0 Posted October 10, 2008 oh, i thought they came as standard...oh well....corrected again! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Phil, ? £30 and I'll get our Co Van Driver to pick them up one day from your home if OK - We normally pass thru' Guildford on either a Monday and/or Wednesday? Ian :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Phil, will take them full price mate... on behalf of Toph! Text me! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted October 10, 2008 If that sale falls through, I'll have second dibs please, Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted October 10, 2008 Spoke to Jon earlier and whilst I feel that GlosterOx was keen and the first to offer to buy Jon was the first to offer full asking price... So, in accordance with the forum rules, sold to Jon so long as they're collected as I really don't have the time to post/meet to deliver! Will bear in mind all other interested parties if for any reason this falls through! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samthegram 10 Posted October 11, 2008 anybody got a set for sale that they can be bothered to post? considering that i was the one that asked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Aye, as with all things though as as the saying goes, "if your not fast, your last" :wink: Why not just order some from DDI in the US, they are only £46 delivered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted October 11, 2008 I wanted to buy those off you Phil when you first put them for sale like what must be 2 years ago.. just you never actually came to any of the meets I went to so I could get them off you :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Hub 0 Posted October 11, 2008 Phil, will take them full price mate... on behalf of Toph! Text me! Good call Jon :clap: have you let him know yet, he'll be chuffed? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andy 0 Posted October 12, 2008 I have a brand new set I'm willing to sell. To be perfectly honest (otherwise there's no point) I had an issue separating the adhesive bit from the backing film. Apparently I was the only one! However I've had a bit of a pick at it and gave up. Other peeps said they used a hairdryer or scalpel blade etc to separate with no problem so they should be fine, I just can't be bothered. If anyone wants them, give me a shout. £35 posted.

Goldie 2 Posted October 12, 2008 I just bought a VW one of these recently as the heating element had packed in and the reflecter was starting to peel and they are 50 quid each from the dealers... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted October 12, 2008 Is the heating element held on the back of the glass by adhesive? Was it the element or glass you replaced Goldie? Or both! I'm sure I read ages ago the DDI mirrors can't be used with the heating element? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted October 12, 2008 I did the whole thing, the element is inside the glass backing and there is a +ve and -ve connection on the back of the mirror glass that you connect on to. Ive not seen the DDI ones but if the are just stick onto the original items then i cant see the heating element working.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted October 12, 2008 I think thats the case yeah. So you need to order an element too? I would like the glass changed on both sides of mine - if its cheap will do elements too Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted October 12, 2008 Nah just order the glass assembly mate, its the whole thing... I havent got my history folder up here for the part numbers im afraid... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 1 Posted October 12, 2008 Don't worry about it mate. I don't wanna come out of the woodwork and wreck your sale! I did want em but will manage without them :) Besides, I'm still down £15 to Mr Beige for a throttle body I said I'd buy so wouldn't have the cash immediately anyway :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil K 0 Posted October 12, 2008 Cheers Jimathy... really sorry about that mate! I feel really guilty :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigTartanJudge 0 Posted October 12, 2008 andy, if you can confirm the ones you have are the DDi blue mirror glasses, I will 100% take them for the full asking price please PM with payment details, Cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
