could be worse mate... be glad you didn;t scrape it all down the side of your car.

Wing mirrors ... easy job to repair/replace (just as costy probably though )

Unlucky mate

I caught my Berlingo passenger mirror on a fallen tree, makes a hell of bang doesn't it?

 

[M8XY G]

how much is a new one?

 

[M8XY G]

YES! the noise is what scared me, i thought i had smashed into it at first just because of the noise.

could be worse, first damage tho and i only past about a month ago :[

 

[daviebroon]

i'm really not sure mate. I think its all dependant on whether the electrics are ripped off aswell... if you;ve got the multiplug complete then it shouldn't be too bad.

... someone should be able to tell you. Worth getting a pic up for half an idea of damage

 

[M8XY G]

anyone else know?

Yeah, it was a 120 for mine fitted. That was with the painted backplate transferred from the old one to the new one though, so if it needs spraying, expect to pay more. Mine is heated and electric and although the motor wasn't damaged, apparently it all comes as one unit.

 

[M8XY G]

mines not heated but is electric, just really pissed off!

thanks

 

[WillC788]

Yeah it's gutting, especially when you do it in a stupid way as I did (reversing down our driveway, very slowly in the dark) - it feels like you've spent over a hundred pounds and got nothing from it.

Also, are you sure it's not heated then? I'm sure if it's electric it's heated. They don't have an individual button, they just work off the heated-screen button thing.

i dno maybe they are

i want it done before my mates see it! lol

got a family mechanic who should get it in a couple days

 

[daviebroon]

^mine;s electric... and deffo not heated. If it should be... then its never worked.

 

[WillC788]

Lol yeah, well I taped mine to the body work and then left it firmly on the drive until it went to the garage. Fortunately because it was a small job they did it within two days of me having done the damage...unfortunately my best friend was in the car when I did it. I bought his silence with a pint lol.

Fair enough, I just thought that when I looked up the prices on Ebay when I did it, you could not get one without the other. They are really useful actually, the heated ones - I was surprised how much difference they make in the winter.

 

[M8XY G]

lol im happy noone else saw it and that its the end of the weekend lol

 

[pinky]

Unlucky mate.

The only heat up when the rear window de-mister is on (which I never use)

 

[M8XY G]
