According to Travelin-Lite 2004+
https://travelinlite-transporters.co.uk ... Caddy+life
VW Caddy Life Wing Mirrors Upgrade

Fits 2004 Onwards

This is a great upgrade from the standard boring caddy mirrors that are an odd shape.

Genuine VW driver side mirror
Genuine VW passenger side mirror
Quality aftermarket primed mirror covers
Quality aftermarket electric heated glass
RHD vehicles only

Please note the aerial and gps will need to be removed from your original mirrors and swapped over to the new mirrors.

They are a direct fit. Easiest job you'll do. If memory serves its either 2 or 3 torx bolts & that's it!

Yip, as others have said, a direct fit. I bought mine from VW commercial, cheaper than EBay and same price as few other online sellers.

Be wary of buying from France/Germany, etc… the mirrors from a left hand drive van are different and the mirror curves are also different and you won’t get much of a rear view!

Used some methods to fully enable Voice, traffic and Android Auto on my Discover Media HU.

Gotta say, it's actually pretty slick! Definitely good value at free. The dealers seem to want a fortune to activate the features 😡..

I'm not gonna promote the methods as I'm no expert and plenty of opportunity to brick your HU.. but I figured it out using Youtube tutorials and lots of reading. You also need VCDS or equivalent, and the easier approaches are limited to only certain HeadUnits, which I luckily had.
