After ******* myself off beyond belief and catching my mirror on the garage !!!!!! Hulk moment to say the least

Do the covers come from skoda just black ready to paint?

Just wondering how to sort as it may be easier than have a bodyshop sand any deep marks out or fill before painting

It has to be back perfect or i'll pull it off myself and kick it about in a ****

So aaaaaaangry

So in the pitch black and hail i dont catch it but in plain daylight ****

I did that when my last Octy was a week old. Grrrr.

In the end I found my dealer was pretty competitive on price. As I understand it the covers do come black and ready for painting.

Was bound to happen, after 6 years i put my first tonk on it

sooner that than body tho unlike mr ****-face who scared my poor car grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

phoned skoda:

if want new housing its £52 primed ready then their body shop can paint for £50 so worse case its about a ton

im going to pop in my local bodyshop and see what they say, case mite just need a sand prime and repaint

just check on ebay for a ready painted one - should be no more than £10

just check on ebay for a ready painted one - should be no more than £10

good thinking - aslong as its perfect condition or i'll have them down the bodyshop lol

You can get new (primered) mirror covers on ebay for £17 and they are a great copy even have the same markings inside, fit fine as well.
