    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
