I got mine from a junk yard from an old Audi 4000.  The Scirocco mirrors are on these as well as Quantums so find a local 
yard and if you're lucky you'll get a decent set.  I took me a lot of tries.  I think you could take off the old glass and get a 
glass shop to cut you a new mirror and then stick that on.  Good luck,
