    Unfortunately my side mirrors (mirror glass and the outer cover) were stolen last week and I replaced them with what I could find in the aftermarket instead of going for the brand new ones, just considering the cost.

    There is a visible exterior difference in 2009 - 2011 and 2012 onward models as the front lights/rear lights and the new face lifted design. What I need to know is where there is a difference in the mirror or the outer cover in these 2 versions ?

    Let me know if anyone knows there is a difference or not.

    Interesting that there's a difference between 2009/10-2011 and 2012+ in other countries considering we have the same boring side mirrors sans signals since 2010 in the United States.

    If you had the signal mirrors, a good aftermarket source can be found on ebay. Is that what yours look like?

    I don't think he was referring to signal mirrors. He was pointing out the differences in the tail lights and front bumper cover of the 2010-2011 vs the 2012+ and was wondering if any changes were made to the side mirrors.

    You answered his question, no change. (y)

    You're probably right. The OP gave me the impression that he noticed a difference upon replacing with aftermarket ones.
