check the cars breaking section on club polo.  Nothing g40-specific about them.  Or go and look round some scrapyards if you can find any that still have cars as old as mk3 polos (ones near me crushed all the mk3s they had thanks to scrappage scheme filling them up with late-90s crap).

I thought G40 one had an extra fixing point?

Not that it really matters as you don't see them.

an extra fixing point on the wing mirror?  Never heard that before and I can't see why it would be the case.  As far as I'm aware the only difference in mirrors are the cable adjusting ones and fixed glass ones.  G40 will have cable adjust ones as did many other mk3s
