This (although I believe it has the door release button on it which VW never thought to do).

Not doubting the experts....but the Corrado was over by 1995. I suppose that's typical TVR!

I don't think so. They have some kind of 'aero' feature on the lower half and are also larger than the Corrado mirrors that I've seen.

Early Chimeras (I think) used Citroen CX mirrors (as did the Jag Xk220) - but those look a bit different.

ETA - I know that's not a chimp, but I think they used mirrors across the range.

There modified corrado mirrors as fitted to Tuscans, t350, tamora, and the last griffs and the mclaren f1, the only difference in the typhoon mirror is the mounting stalk is longer, my griff has the earlier Citroen cx mirrors same as the xj220 and of course the Citroen cx

No, it's larger than the mirrors used on either the Griff or the T cars. Mis it has that scallop on the lower front section.

I'll get a better picture.

Hopefully somebody will let us all know soon.

Is there no tell-tale markings on the glass anywhere?

Apparently, he's after our pies. That's why I eat them as quickly as possible.

I am surprised that the collective might of PH cannot identify which car those mirrors were designed to fit.

I don't think the mirrors were designed to fit a Typhon. It is more likely that the Typhon was designed to take those mirrors.
