Thanks for that info, could have done without this as it's been a bad week financially.  Oh well at least Man Utd beat Chelsea and probably have the title wrapped up this year  :grin:

Yeah and then Blackpool at home so if it's not tied up by then I reckon poor old Blackpool may take a bit of a hammering.

Phoned stealer this morning and they eventually came back with a price for the whole wing mirror plus painting, fitment and VAT £307  :sick: :sick: that filthy rotten low life who killed my mirror will hopefully one day get back ten fold what he reaps. :angry:

Jeez!

I've just done a quick search of ebay. There are quite a few mirrors listed on there from breakers but if you search for mk6 Golfs breaking there are loads. It may be well worth contacting a few of those sellers as you may find one in the right colour that is both electric and heated too.
It'll be about a third of the cost or less than a new one and if it goes kaputt you can still claim under warranty for it as VW aren't to know you changed it to one off a scrapper (ssshhhhh, did I really just say that?)  :smiley:

Thanks, hoping to sort something out next week.  You don't realise how much you rely on those wing mirrors till ones gone.
