Only bought my new Superb on Sunday and today, whilst driving down a narrow B road I had my wing mirror clobbered by a foreign lorry.

It was driving half on my side of the road, and I had to come nearly to a stop and drive pretty much into the bank to avoid it. It still drove past at what must have been 40mph and hit my mirror, breaking the cover, knocking the glass out (which smashed) which then crashed into the door of my car, scuffing the paint.

So angry it's not even funny, as by the time I had found a spot to pull over to reattach the glass to stop it banging against the door, turn around to try and get the number plate, or company, the lorry had gone...

Anyone have any idea how much a replacement glass, cover and LED assembly would be?

Not going through insurance, as my excess would outweigh the cost, plus my premium would increase as a result.

Sorry to hear that.

Just quickly, rather than coughing up £400 for a new mirror *gulp*, plus spraying it the right colour, I'm looking into salvage parts.

There's one being broken on eBay that's the right colour, but I think it's an S model. Can anyone confirm whether this would have the electric folding, adjusting, heated and auto tinting function that the Elegance has?

No, I don't think it will have all those features. You will need to get an Elegance model, same year to be sure...

Ok thanks for that. Have found an Elegance being broken, but it's in blue... Think I'll enquire about that and if necessary can get the colour changed on the cover.

Have the blue one and pretend to be from Balamory. He he he he.

Get a dash cam as well ;-)

Rang all the breakers and none have a driver's side one. Rubbish...

But yeah, I'm definitely investing in a dash cam. Can't help thinking it's locking the door after the horse has bolted though.
