    RS2 mirors are the only ones to fit onto the avant. Others need modification to the mirror bases and wiring.
    They are crap mirrors BTW.

        Crap - as in small, they don't offer as much rearward vision as the standard box shaped mirrors.

        I find that with a bit of time to get the adjustment right, they are ok - but they will never offer the same vision as the standard mirror.

        I'll be keeping the RS2 mirrors though, I get on with them and IMHO they do look better when you compare two cars with both types side-by-side.

                      Thanks James

                      being a bit "mechanically challenged", what does that involve? is it an easy job?
                      (or should I just do a search and stop asking silly questions...? )

                          You use a dremel to cut a bit in the door , the hole for the mirror is too small for the rs2 mirror base.

                          Can someone PLEASE help me with the 2 screws I need for the porsche mirrors

                            the part does not have a number on it...its the gold colour steel part where you put the screw in.....

                            its only 1.5 inch long and works like a vork,when putting the screw in the "part" will bolt itself in the chassis

                              The porsche mirrors are crap UNLESS you have the convex mirror glasses in them. Then they are the best mirrors out there. Much better then the stock S2 mirrors.
