Sorry to hear that Sootchucker, gutting. Happy Birthday though 
I'm mourning the loss this morning of yet another wing mirror 
A lorry got the passenger side last year, I just clipped the driver side whilst reversing ironically at the VW garage getting a £5 drain tube replaced. £450. At least there was no damage to the bodywork this time so a straightforward replacement but my precious black mirror cap bought it too 
Oops! And ouch too!
How did you manage that?

Happy Birthday Sootchucker, not the greatest of starts to the day though and not the smoothest of starts to ownership. What sort of speed were you doing on impact?
The alloy looks repairable enough but as above, the tyre looks like it might need replacing so hopefully nothing in the suspension geometry knocked out of line.
