Vantage Mirror Cover

I understand the mirror covers on the 2012 vantage are Volvo parts, does anyone know the Volvo part number by any chance?

2012 not sure as I believe the changed them around those years to make them a little bigger, I know that 2006 - 2010 or so are the smaller one and they were Volvo from an S60 somewhere around 2004-2006

so from what I can tell in 2011 they changed to larger mirror and maybe the 2004 Volvo S80 mirror would fit the newer model from 2011 - 2017, her is a link of one

Pull the mirror cover off, the part number is on the inside.

I believe yours is the so called 6G type. I used to sell CF-mirror caps for various modells up an throught MY 2012. Have a search on 6G and it'll give you definately info

I tried a couple of CF volvo mirror caps... these were not overlays fastened with double-sided tape but real CF on abs cover.

They preformed horribly as they would not fit very well because CF didn't expand and contract the same as ABS. They deformed after a couple of months.

If you do purchase, go with full CF
