Bull horn mirror caps for Volkswagen Golf 6
These mirror caps do not replicate the original teardrop shape of the Volkswagen Golf 6: they feature the so-called bull horn design, with a point pulled forward and a hollowed-out top ridge. This is the silhouette of competition mirrors, reproduced in ABS and sold as a pair. Two finishes are available: gloss black and carbon look. The cutout for the original side repeater is retained.
Bull horn: how it differs from an original cap
- Pronounced front point: the look is pulled forward, making the car appear narrower from the side.
- Hollowed-out top ridge that breaks up the rounded mass of the standard mirror.
- Retained repeater cutout: the original side indicator remains visible and functional.
- Sold as a pair: driver and passenger sides, no mismatched parts.
- Molded ABS: more tolerant than a woven carbon fiber cap in the event of a door impact.
- Two finishes: gloss black for contrast, carbon look for a sporty touch.
Volkswagen Golf 6 MK6 GTI GTD R 2009-2013 Compatibility
The manufacturer intends these caps for the Volkswagen Golf 6, also known as the MK6, in its GTI, GTD, and R versions, model years 2009 to 2013. Before ordering, check two points on your vehicle: the presence of the side indicator integrated into the mirror, and the original cap mounting method, by clips or by screws depending on the trim. Electrically folding mirrors and those equipped with blind spot detection may have a different housing. Compatibility is given by model and should be checked before installation.
Technical specifications

Installation: the original cap is removed, the mirror remains
One cap is replaced without touching the mechanism or the mirror. The original cap is unclipped, starting with the inner edge, often using a plastic spatula and a little gentle heat in cold weather. The new cap is then presented and snapped into place by pressure, checking that the repeater cutout aligns correctly. The supplier does not include any instructions and does not guarantee tool-free installation or trace-free removal: we do not claim this either. Maintenance: soapy water and microfiber. On the carbon look finish, avoid abrasive polishes, which dull the surface pattern.

Yes, with a plastic adhesion primer, by a body shop.
The bull horn shape is what distinguishes a modified Golf 6 from an original Golf 6, seen from a front three-quarter angle.
