Some ******* **** ***** idiot "helped" me reverse out of the drive this morning as the windows and mirrors were iced up.

net result - drivers mirrors has now been twisted off...

Anybody have any idea where i can can a new one other than £750 +++ from an authorised dealer?

the only bit that is broken is the arm in the casing which seems stupid to replace for £1500 all in....

bought an RSC wing...

had to cut the wires so that i could drive 100 miles home and not have it flying around.
i can sort the wires - so welding the ali is OK?

reading the above post, sounds like has to be aluminium weld, whatever that means, but yes....
PM peter, he is a top bloke and won;t mind giving up greater detail...(OP of linked thread)

if it makes you feel any better, simon of evo murci fame did the wing mirror of his lp640 not once but twice!

... and if it makes you feel still better, I had an V8 Vantage that rolled off my driveway because I didn't apply the handbrake properly a few years ago wink

I had to replace the one on ours and it was well over a grand from what I remember (it was a couple years ago).

Hope it gets fixed soon.

We have a private car park behind my drive... went all the way across and into a metal bollard, didn't touch any other cars and I was able to bend the front grille back into shape myself, no other damage!
