Someone just hit the Gallardo Spyder

[BPD]

Hi All,

Not as bad as you all think.

Someone has just hit the drivers mirror going towards the front of the car. It now just flops around. Will the entire body need to be replaced or does anyone know if there is a way of repairing it?

Cheers

There is an aluminium strut inside that probably snapped. This happened to me. A mate welded it for me. You need to dismantle the door to get it apart, which is a pain in the ass. The cost of replacement is very expensive, about £2k I believe.

There is a guide here:

You can just make out the broken aluminium strut in the photo below

Thanks for both of the replies.

I have spent the last couple of hours taking the door apart and finally have the mirror off the car. Thought it would be straight forward but it was a complete pain in the . Not looking forward to putting it back together once I have all the parts back.
