Hi All

My first post here and hoping for some help/advice please.

The offside door mirror's been hit by someone passing the car and the only thing that's holding it onto the bracket now is the cable feeding the electrics. :mad:

Took it to Henry Bros in Glasgow and unbelievely they want £105+VAT for the replacing and fitting a new door mirror. Seems a bit drastic to me...anyone else suffered the same problem? Apart from a main Mini dealer, anyone know if anywhere else in Glasgiow I can get the work done?

This is the last thing I need at this time of year :(

Any help/advice greatly appreciated

Sorry to see your first post is like this, the price is quite fair to be honest, especially if it includes labour, cheapest option is a second hand unit from a breaker and do it yourself

Agree with BS , sorry to hear your plight but £ sounds right to me.
Go say hi to everyone on the "introduce yourself" forum & see the "Meets" forum to introduce yourself in person :approve:

It the plastic cover ok & glass??
If so I think I have some second hand mirror frames at work - these are not the electric folding ones
