Dear all,

I've just had a call from the wife to say that she has taken the passenger side wing mirror clean off because she had to avoid another driver who was coming towards her. I've done a quick google and come up with this site http://www.wingmirrorman.co.uk/Wing-Mirrors/Skoda/Skoda-Octavia . It's looks ok but has anyone else used this site or can anyone recommend any others?

I'm planning to get it painted and then get the local garage to fit, can anyone tell me where paint code is and I'm also not sure about the info on the mirror surface it says its none but aren't they convex?

I've got a 2005 Octy II 1.6 FSI Ambiente in green but not sure what kind green hence the code request!!

Thanks.

When the same happened to me (I did not avoid the other driver who disappeared) a couple of years ago I could not find the correct mirror on line. A £500 insurance claim ensued including the replacement of the side window glass which was chipped. And the mirror lacquer is now peeling off. And no, life is too short to pursue the repairer.

Passenger side wing mirror?

Was she driving on the wrong side of the road!?

No she wasn't on the wrong side of the road, she pulled in to the left to avoid the car that was in the centre of the small road that she was going down and hit a parked car. Thankfully the car that she hit was ok.
