As if getting my car 'tagged' last week wasn't enough. I went out to the car Christmas morning to find the driver's side wing mirror beaten off :o BASTARDS!

I've got it taped up ATM, but going to have find a new bracket to hold the mirror on now.

They say bad luck happens in three's, I wonder what will happen next?

The 'Tagging' happened at Sarah's, and I found out it was kids (little fuckers), but don't know which kids. They are all blaming each other. Not too bothered now as it was fixed very easily.

But the mirror happened at home, in the Village! Haven't a clue who did it. This pisses me off more as it's going to cost me to fix it.

If you know which kids they are generally get the police on them, they won't do a bloody thing but it'll scare them off. Some git smashed the hubcaps on my sisters fiat (which i was unfortunately stuck driving at the time), i caught up with them and the older one with a criminal record was very quick to leave, called the plod and one of the younger kids owned up, they know they can't be touched because they're too young! So we got him to pay £20 for replacements, then bought some for £5. Was considering buying something to remove the valves from the older guys tyres too as they kept stealing wipers and letting the tyres down on my mates roller skate (seicento), but i'm not sinking that low............yet.

Went to Honda today, to get a quote for my mirror. I only need a small plastic bracket, that connects the mirror to the car. So I was thinking possibly a tenner.

How wrong I was :o You can't buy just the bracket, you have to buy the whole mirror :wtf:

Wait for it.........



























£155 :o :wtf:

Going to post up on the ITR forum, hopfully someone on there has an old one. Someone who hasn't just thrown one away :lol: I can't belive you did that Paul :no:

TBH I'm not going to bother replacing the filter, as I haven't noticed a difference since it 'disapeared' <_<

So far the mirror is going to cost me....
£50 for a 2nd hand mirror from that Jap parts website, or £30 for a 2nd hand bracket!

It seams quite expensive for a bit of plastic :o

I've managed to fix it myself now. I've glued the bracket back together. I took it apart today, and had a good look at it. The bracket has actually got the electric motors in it (for the electric mirrors). So me and a mate used some very strong super glue, and it seams to be holding nicely. I won't be driving it this weekend, so should give it enough time to go off completely.

I don't think it will last long, so I'm still on the look out for a second hand mirror. I just didn't fancy paying that sort of money for the thing. I'm a tight bastard :lol:
