Got the driver side wing mirror kicked off my car last night. Any of our automotive techno members know what it would cost to have such a thing repaired. They kicked it and sheared the pivot point that the mirror turns on so it was hanging by the side of the car.
It's a VW Golf MK5 its not an electrically folding mirror but its body coloured and heated with the indicator in the base
Any clues on cost or even a way to fix it, managed to tape it back onto to the mount and all the electrics are fine to it. _________________

£151 to get the part of the mounting that is broken fixed.
Little swines give me 5 mins, a tazer and baseball bat and that will give me £151 worth of payback _________________

Yes, these people need to be eliminated. I don't know if it's just me getting older but I'm sure they are on the increase and their antics are getting more serious.
And as for official dealers, are they much better? A friend recently quoted £150 for the piece of glass out of a wing mirror (not the casing) just because it was heated. Plus VAT. |

Well I would do old son but apparently it's illegal not having any wing mirrors. Least I don't have to drive round with a man waving a red flag in front of the automobile like my great grandpappy did _________________
