Rear view mirror alternatives for 2001 A4?

Like many, my auto-dimming mirror has sprung a leak. I can get one for ~265 from the dealer.

1. Is there a cheaper place to get a replacement other than a junk yard?

2. I don't really like the auto-dimming mirrors much anyway, and prefer the old flip-down style. Is there a nice VW replacement part, or some other 3rd party model, that would just fit right in and be easy to install?

Stands for "Search The F***ing Archive"...

basically people here expect you to search for answers that may have already been posted about the topic before asking something. The FAQ has alot of good info and the forum search has many useful options.
