Well some idiot decided to go down Pickup street last night breaking wing-mirrors

Ours was done on the path side so we know it wasnt a car,but its going to cost us about £140 to get fixed

The police have been rung but what good thats going to do i dont know !

The trouble is MTT that if the police catch these brain dead muppets, all they get is a pat on the head and a sugar lump

Exactly and the innocent folk whos wingmirror the muppet smashed have to foot the bill

Ours was one of the good ones,my husband said he can glue it back together and get a new glass for it.Because unfortuntly we have just had to get new tyres and brakes for the MOT.Couldnt have happened at a worse time

Mindless vandalism.

Can you not get one from Scrap Yard or on Ebay, will be a lot cheaper than the main stealers.

a street near kwikfit is quite often victim to some one going down cars with their keys , each time it happens the damage stops at the same spot so im guessing its the same idiot on his way home from the pub or somthing.

i think considering how much a scratch alone can cost to repair it shoud be quite legal to stamp on somones head if you catch them doing damage to your car

but we dont live in a fair world sadly

like said before try scrap yards , wing mirrors usualy just clip on and dealers love to bump up prices or ring the dealers and ask how much for the part only and get a local garage to fit it

Car fixing is husbands job,being angry at said muppet is my job

I think he will be looking into fixing it second hand.

Kris is home now and he thinks the motor is broke which why its going to cost extra !

Same thing happened to me when I lived on Exchange St. and to add insult to injury I got taken to court and fined for having a defective wing mirror.They never caught the person that did it.
