The trouble is MTT that if the police catch these brain dead muppets, all they get is a pat on the head and a sugar lump:(

Mindless vandalism.:mad:

Can you not get one from Scrap Yard or on Ebay, will be a lot cheaper than the main stealers.

a street near kwikfit is quite often victim to some one going down cars with their keys , each time it happens the damage stops at the same spot so im guessing its the same idiot on his way home from the pub or somthing.

i think considering how much a scratch alone can cost to repair it shoud be quite legal to stamp on somones head if you catch them doing damage to your car

but we dont live in a fair world sadly



like said before try scrap yards , wing mirrors usualy just clip on and dealers love to bump up prices or ring the dealers and ask how much for the part only and get a local garage to fit it

Car fixing is husbands job,being angry at said muppet is my job :D
I think he will be looking into fixing it second hand.

Same thing happened to me when I lived on Exchange St. and to add insult to injury I got taken to court and fined for having a defective wing mirror.They never caught the person that did it.:stop:
