[johnafclifford]

yep it happened - two cars got too close & my wing mirror is now damaged.Almost got away with it - just the led plastic or it glass cover broken - no other marks .drivers side mirror.

Dealer sells a replacement at £15-20 , so no drama there.

Does anyone know if the led cover/strip are dealer fit only ?? or is it a diy job that can be done relatively straight forward & if so how !!!?? any advice / pointers really appreciated - me part is in stock on wednesday so any feedback , needs to be soon !! otherwise can see its gonna be £20 for tha part and a £100 to fit !! - life never easy !

rgds to all,


John

Had my 210 one knocked off a couple of months ago. Undamaged so I tried to refit it myself but it wasn't on right. Specialist popped back on for me - 2 mins and no charge.
