Just had my drivers wing mirror torn off by a Volvo which did'nt stop.

Rip off the other one so that they match ? :sofahide:

Claim it on insurance and report the Volvo for failing to stop at an accident?

Rob.

On behalf of Volvo owners everywhere (as my other car is an Ovlov 850), I can only apologise, and can only assume that she was running late for picking the kids up from school, or taking Clarissa to pony club.

Chaos

I had my o/s mirror smashed off whilst it was parked up but tha was the least of my worries because the w**ker bounced off the rear door before removing the mirror ,but anyway now i have had my rant,i would suggest trying your nearest LUCAS dealer because i got mine from there and it was less than

:pillepall :shakehead Hey SI, ref. my thread on sunday about motoring pet hates, was the durk in the volvo wearing a flat cap with his blue rinse wife sitting next to him,or was he p'raps too busy talking to his slobbery dog hanging out of the back window to notice you .What a total trollop,you must have been seathing.You get his reg no.? :thumbdwn: c.j

My suggestionn is to swallow it. Claiming on your insurance will eventually up your premium, and its the sort of thing that when it happens you miss the reg no.

My VW Transporter has had a spate of people smashing the whole thing lately, have had both sides done between them a total of 5 times in the last 3 months....and at

No, did'nt get the idiots number. Your right, it was a flat capper and his blue rinse wife. Police say there nothing they can do, what a surprise, is there any justice in this country ?

In fairness to the police there really is not a lot they can do in this country, apart from track down every Volvo in the area and there are more serious crimes going on than a smashed mirror!

What exactly would you like them to do?

:hbomb: :ukliam: This has all reminded me now while I've got me angry 'ed on yet agen,some dead brained pile of steamimg dog vomit belted our new car last year while it was parked in a so called secure car park.Rear n/s door wrecked,unrepairable,rear 1/4 dented,alloy wheel scuffed,r bumper scratched.Needless to say,no apologetic note on window,and security said "sorry cameras don't cover where you where parked". I could have commited murder that night,made even worse when the citroen main agent said it was going to cost over a grand to put right.Sorted out everything bar the door myself,got onto find a part yesterday and they've found me a door for 100 snotters + painting

That's an expensive wing mirror! :(

I should worry less about the cost and worry about Skoda stocks instead. Had the same thing happen to me some years ago and it took Subaru three weeks to get a replacement... So what do you do in the meantime? It's damn hard and dangerous driving without a left (your right) wing mirror, I can tell you that.

If you in an rs and the dude is in a volvo, then why didnt you chase after the guy and pull him over or at least chase him and get his no. plate?

Real narrow country road in Cumbria. By the time i got turned he was away in his stinkin volvo. Plus plenty of traffic behind to pass before i got to him.!

The lowlife!

Sorry to hear about that, The same happened to me, I had my drivers mirror clipped by a typical Luton boy's Vauxhall Nova, Cost 20quid to fix, only the glass not the shell, I would have given chase, but I doubt I could outrun a 1.0 Nova!

When I used to work in London as a field engineer, I lost count of the number of mirrors I lost from my various Cavaliers. The "Elevator" car parks, where they park it for you were the worst. And they always denied all knowledge when you collected your mysteriously mirrorless car.

I suspect that the same company who ran the car parks had a small shop in Soho selling secondhand door mirrors.......

The funniest one was when some plonker in a van took my offside mirror off somewhere behind Oxford Street, and it landed in my lap. I'm still not sure how h e manged it.....
