Wing Mirrors!

Post by Playtime_Fontayne »

I've just had my wing mirror taken off by a nice chap in a scruffy van! I suppose it was partly my fault as I was trying to get through a gap.

Mind you, he didnt move over at all!!

The garage I use quotes me £275 for a new one, its a heated/electric/folding thing, including paint and fitting.

Sound reasonable to you guys?

Cheers

I would definately get one yourself.

If your lucky it might even be in your colour, if not some careful spraying yourself should be fine for a wing mirror, save yourself a fortune.
