The other day while the wife was driving home some dick in a van barged his way into the lane she was in and took out her passenger side mirror.
She didn't get the reg number and lost the van in traffic so we where left to foot the bill.
The car is a 2016 ford B max so I told her to nip into Perry's Ford just up the road and get a price for a new one.
£340 she was quoted:eek::eek:
I told her to tell them to shove it and I would have a look at it myself when I got in from work.
Luckily the only things that need replacing are the heated lense and rear mirror cover.
I had search on fleabay and got a pattern rear cover in primer and heated lense and backplate for just over £20.
Got the paint matched at a local refinishing place and mixed for a tenner.
So in all its cost £33 and twenty minutes of my time to sort.
Just don't know how main dealers can justify what they charge:(:(
 
Top work my friend :thumb2

On a side note to that, I just hate the modern hustle and bustle of life where everyone is in such a rush and is only out for themselves, in what seems a competitive sometimes aggressive manor. I see it so often, its day in day out. Me, me, me.....:doh

Mr K I’m with you:thumbs

A friend of mine refers to it as the “me First attitude”

Well done Elty that’s a winner mate
 
Dealers... They're a licence to print money!

Well done on getting it all sorted! :thumbs

The roads are definitely getting worse. Strangely, people tend not to cut me up in traffic... :naughty
 
It is not just the roads that are getting bad, of late I have been doing a lot of walking in the town centre, and find a very high percentage of people are inconsiderate idiots, "me me" and little else, Rick

I agree Rick!

To busy staring at their phones! Either walking into you or generally getting in the way!
 
It's just the ignorance of people nowadays:(
He probably would have thought twice if she was driving the terrano but that said only last night I had a young lad almost went into the driver's side of me.
Was waiting for the on coming traffic to pass so I could pull out round some parked cars but he decided he was not waiting and just as I was pulling out he tried to get round the side of me.
If I hadn't glanced in the mirror as I pulled off it would have been Audi 0 Terrano 1.
 
On a brighter note the mirror on the Mrs car is all back together again and working as it should:thumb2
