Hi Guys
Any idea where I can get the backing plate for the above wing mirror please? My boy has lost his.

Thank you

Do you mean the motorised adjustment plate for electric mirrors? The part number for that is 357959577A. There are a few for sale on ebay. It is also available new from VW Classic Parts in Germany priced 98 Euros + delivery (plus 20% UK VAT and customs clearance charge payable to UPS, thanks to Brexit).
The glass in your picture looks to be for the Golf Mk2, not Scirocco. The version for the Scirocco had part number 321857521 (flat) or 322857521 (convex).
Manual Scirocco Mk2 door mirrors were supplied only as a complete assembly comprising the mounting bracket, housing, glass and adjustment mechanism.

Hi GT
Thanks for replying.
That backing plate was out of the spare box that the chap who sold the car gave to us. It's definitely a manual mirror. So that means I need the whole mirror assy. I will keep a look out on ebay... Typical I can't just replace the parts..

many moons ago i used double sided sticky pads to stick the glass to the frame and as far as i know they are still holding?
Sold the car 18 mths ago.
a strong double sided tape might do

Picture works, but that mirror is not from a Scirocco, the part number is for a RHD mirror from a Golf MK2
Scirocco glasses do not have those metal clipsies on the sides.
Your mirror on the car is an manual and for those there are no loose glasses made, officialy.
