Ask Tony the man with a plan  :grin: 50quid maybe ?

Good advice. Tony will tart you up again for a small fee!  :kiss:

I've had a price in from a repair body shop local to me........ £ 40 + VAT ( for a full respray of the mirror housing )

They have always done a fantastic job for me in the past so I've booked the car in.

Glad you getting it fixed soon.

Now get rid of the Interlagos picture and I am sure your luck will improve. :evil:

Hope you have overcome the 'flu. :smiley:

I didn't think that was to bad a price tbo.... I'm gonna have to run a few motorbikes of the road now to make up for it   :angry:

Just waiting to get a decent picture of my new wheels and I shall update my sig, just for you as I know you find the interlagos wheels offensive  :grin:

No I don't find them offensive. I do like them very much, but especially not on a white car. They look great on all other colours. :smiley:

£40 is very reasonable.

Now you tell me....... I could have had my car resprayed to suit the wheels. Actually joking apart they would have looked good on a red GTI.

Wing mirror all sorted now!  :smiley:

For the record the cost for replacing the wing mirror cover and paint spraying came to......£ 62 incl VAT. More bloody expense, but not to bad. The job was done by the bodyshop I use down my way and was done perfectly.

I've kept the old scratched wing mirror cover as momento all though I may use it as a codpiece or something? :undecided: :grin:

Get that one re-sprayed and either keep it as a spare for when it happens again or sell it on to recoup your cash :afro:

Bound to be other owners looking for a replacement cover  :smiley:
