'99 or '00 A4/S4 RH side mirror question



Folks,
Could some kind soul with the new A4/S4 ('99-'00) which come with a full
size RH size mirror do me a huge favour?
On the bottom of the mirror there is a black plastic piece, secured to
the mirror by just one screw. If you undo that screw, you can pop this
piece off with a slim screwdriver. It is held by two tiny clips.
I need the part number of this piece.  It should be on a paper sticker
glued to the inside of this part.
ETKA does not provide the p/n for it. Audi wants to sell the whole motor
assy.

I am contemplating installing the outer plastic cap and the mirror glass
on both my wife's '98 A4 and my own '97 S6. Both cars are equipped with
the pathetic small and dangerous RH mirrors. I took both of them out of
their respective cars and disassembled them on the bench side by side.

It appears that in order to get a full size RH mirror one has to replace
three parts: the outer plastic mirror cap, the mirror glass and that
little plastic part for which ETKA does not give a separate p/n but
which I am sure exists.
Best part, the outere cap and mirror glass could be also installed on
the S6 as they are identical. I even swapped them between the A4 and the
S6 and assembled the mirrors. It helps that my both Audis are of the
same LB09 colour (Pearl White).

Thanks in advance for the p/n.
