That's horrible, you must be parked in a dodgy spot! :/

3 completly different places, always the drivers side, always at night. Think i might have upset someone!!!

Time to bend your mirrors in?

 

[pecan]

Yea, was just gonna say, bend them in when you leave your car.

Mine fell off once, you know you can fix them.. I developed a technique with a clamp and an old rag, if it looks like nothing has snapped it'll probably fix right back on there, let me know and I'll dig out the post and the pictures.

I wanted a moderator to put this in the guides section because I think it could be helpful for future reference. Hope it helps anyway.

Unfortunitely they smashed the whole bloody thing, cover included just pieces on the ground boo hoo.

At least you found the pieces, mine was ripped off and either stolen or kicked down the street. I have a standard black one on one side at the moment as I cant afford a new colour coded one and just needed a mirror in the meantime.

Just got a quote off a guy in warrington, yes the home of clio sports and he's gonna spray it for 25 quid, happy dayz, gone from 200 quid all in to just 100 quid, so things have improved. Oh and mine was 2 billion pieces aswell, Gutting.

Jeez, I guessed heated/electric clio mirrors would be expensive, but £200???

My dad ripped the mirror off his old car when parking into the garage 'cos he was dying for a pee and rushed it too much... muppet.
