Well to start it off
Saturday night ... some drunks thought it would be funny to kick off all the wing mirrors on my sisters street (my car being parked there over night) So my car and other cars all had no mirrors or mirrors hanging off Went to my vauxhall garage the next day .... £130 for a new left mirror - Is this the best i can get a corsa C sxi mirror for ?

Then on tuesday - b4 i left for obie trice in glasgow - my mate texts me to let me know he has scraped the back of my car Took it to the body shop the following day (wednesday) and £60 respay.

So £130 for a mirror ? Any places can be recommended 4 a star silver sxi left mirror ??? As im 18, im not wanting to claim on my insurance for f*cking drunks' amusement.
As for the £60 bumper spray - my mate is paying that

Pictures will be up later - Thanks for any help

What i thought, but was told by some mates that the electronics of the temp. sensor in the left mirror (am i right ) are delicate or something. Maybe worth a looky though

i got a set of m3 mirros with corsa c base plates from here for £25.

Will only cost £50 brand new, plus they look better than standard mirrors

Am wanting to keep the car as standard atm :/ - then i can sell it off as standard and not have to take off mods and put original parts back on. Only 18 atm, so will be some time until im getting a bigger engine

not much of a modification and would be a lot better than paying £130 for one standard mirror

I think temp. sensor is behind front bumper? If your mirrors aren't heated or electric then I'd just get one from a scrappy - is the colourcoded bit scratched or damaged? If not, you can just get any Corsa C mirror (the colourcoded bit unclips).

They are electric, and the electrics seem to work fine, as does the temp. sensor, but god knows where that actually is The colour coded bit is fine, glass is fine, just the part that secures it to the car panel. By what u say bluecorsa maybe down to the scrappy this weekend. Thanks for your help all
