Volkswagen Sharan Wing Mirror Replacement Parts

The Sharan has two main generations: the first-generation Mk1 ran from 1995 to 2010, and the second-generation Mk2 ran from 2010 onwards. These generations are built on completely different platforms, so a Mk1 mirror will not fit a Mk2 and vice versa. Always tell the breaker which generation you have, ideally confirmed against your registration, to make sure you get the right part.

Both of those years fall within the second-generation Mk2 Sharan, so there is a reasonable chance of compatibility on the basic frame and mounting. However, the Mk2 received updates during its production run that may have affected mirror variants, so confirm with the breaker against your exact registration before assuming a straight swap. Also make sure you match the side — NS (nearside, passenger left) or OS (offside, driver right) — as these are not interchangeable.

This is a critical boundary: the Mk1 ended in 2010 and the Mk2 launched in 2010, so a mirror from a 2009 car is Mk1 and will not fit a Mk2 on a like-for-like basis. If your car straddles that changeover year, confirm which generation yours is against your registration with the breaker, as they can check the exact build details. Never assume a mirror crosses that Mk1-to-Mk2 boundary without the breaker verifying fitment.

Trim level does not affect the physical fitment of the mirror frame or its mounting to the door on the Sharan. However, different trim levels may have been specified with different mirror features — such as electric folding, heating, or an integrated indicator — so a mirror from a lower-spec car may look slightly different or lack certain functions compared to your original. The frame will bolt on the same way, but confirm with the breaker whether the feature set of the mirror they have matches what you need.

Yes, absolutely: NS (nearside, passenger side, left when sat in the car) and OS (offside, driver side, right when sat in the car) mirrors are completely different shaped parts and are not interchangeable. When contacting a breaker, always specify NS or OS clearly, as well as your generation, to avoid being sent the wrong part. Getting the side wrong is one of the most common ordering mistakes on mirrors, so double-check before you buy.

Colour is not a fitment issue — the mirror frame will fit regardless of what colour the donor car was painted. Most customers either respray a used mirror to match their car or have it wrapped, and breakers are used to supplying mirrors in non-matching colours. Focus on getting the correct generation, side, and mounting style confirmed first, and treat colour as a cosmetic job for afterwards.
