just walked out of the door this morning, to find out that some spineless mother f*cker has decided to smash my passanger mirror clean off the car! The whole things gone, so I'm thinking it was stolen. They've also taken all the centre wheel covers! I need a proper inspection when I get home, but I think that's everything.
It's not gonna be cheap, needs a completely new mirror, mount, everything. Wires damaged too :cry:
-
That sucks! Sorry to hear that dude!
Hope you get it sorted soon!!
-
seems to have been the weekend of pick on the MKIV :angry:
gutted Bob :cry:
-
sorry to hear that mate, some right horrible little sh1ts around.
-
soory to hear that mate, its coz its the best shape and everyone wants stuff of it, IIRC the mirror is about £45
-
I just rung up my local VW garage, £180 exc vat for the nearside wing mirror :sick:
-
more than your remap that is!!!! i was thinking about the cover and the glass is £45!!!
i have a drivers side base and cover without the glass i know that aint much help to you bob but might aswell mention it whilst we talk about it!!!!! :grin: :grin:

don't be a tube, check gsf/eurocarparts for a pattern part and fit it yourself.

I need everything, they've even smashed the mount on the door.

raid a scrapyard mate - cheapest way :afro:
-
the breakers near me charge £25 for a new wing mirror, so go to a breakers and odds are you'll be able to find one in the same colour too.
-
I need it sorted before the end of the month as I need to drive from Manchester to Devon on holiday too, so time isn't on my side. Would need a second hand black one, or a new one painted.
-
Feel for you :cry:
I had the exact same thing happen to the Lupo GTI and then two months ago the missis had her car mirror smashed for no reason. Complete barstewards :angry:

scrappers or gsf, any colour doesn't matter. sort it out when you have time. save yourself a fortune.

Ah gutted for ya bob :cry: Some people want shooting :angry: :angry: :angry:
Could try ebay "mk4 breaking"
-
I'm looking on eBay, thing is I need a mirror that's motorised, and has the heater element, and blue mirror. It's tough because you can't tell just from the pictures :(

Send some emails bud :wink:

that would be 4 the best mate, otherwise you will end up buying the wrong type :afro:
-
Yeah have sent a couple off, see what happens. Shame all the cars they're breaking are blue and silver, says a lot :wink:
Btw, here's a few snaps of the damage.
Entire thing is ruined. Don't have any idea how hard it's going to be replacing the metal bracket. I know I need to dismantle a large amount of the door.

They took all of the hub cap things.

Half considering just ordering these.

defo scrapyard for the wheel centres
-
oh dear nige.. but every cloud..
you could pimp the wiperless 'smooth' look.. or get one from a scrappy in the right colour for 20 quid.
centre caps, same as my old ones and i think i paid £14 for a new one.. i know atleast one of yours was missing the badge anyway and needed replacing :wink:
or be a devil and get new rims.. so you'll need to drop 40mm too.
i can keep going..
-
I quite like those R32 ones, but am worried some idiot is just going to ruin them as well :(

£22.50 on vwspeed... its a deal, its a steal, its the sale of the fkin century!
I remember the day I set out to change all my walnut trim out for the rline kit. Beating sunshine, all went well until it took way too long to get the ashtray trim off, and i couldn't be arsed to change the triggers which were chrome effect anyway and went for a pint.
-
Well I've just spoken to my dad on the phone. He's agreed to lend me £600 so I can get the mirror sorted and the faulty sensor on the rear door (which stopped the alarm going off when they smashed the mirror).
