How much for a wing mirror?

    I know essentially I will have to go to a garage - but as from my thread in afterhours - I had an accident there last week where a guy speeding along a narrow road (i pulled in) smashed my wing mirror.

    Anyways, looks like ive to foot the damages. When the accident happened, the mirror (electric) was pulled out of the door and the mirror smashed.

    The wing-mirror itself is now taped on. I had a look at it at the weekend and the electric bit is still moving.

    Would it be possible to buy a mirror (from a garage I guess?) and silicone it on?

    Thanks

    If it's just the glass that's broken, then you should be able to buy it separately from your dealer's parts dept. When it happened to me (Renault Megane), a few years ago it cost £25 for the glass.

    VW are looking for €73 for the glass for my Golf. Luckily the scum bag that kicked it is paying for it and not me. Try breakers yards for the part I'd say.

    About E129.00 for the mirror complete unit or E19.99 for the glass only (heated). That was about a year ago for a Honda Accord. New, from dealer, parts only, self fitted.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Yeah, it is only the glass -mirror part - that I am going to get.

    The whole wingmirror part is intact (except for it being ripped out and hanging down the door at the time) and is now taped on.

    It seems secure enough. As said the electric part is still moving so might get away with just replacing the mirror for now.

    I am really missing that mirror (reversing, over taking etc).

    Will call to the garage this evening.

    A guy I know often breaks the mirrors in his van. He now goes to the local glazer and gets him to cut a piece of glass to size, doesn't cost much.
