Angry Driver side Mirror swipped !!!!!!!!!

hey Crew

parked on a public street in Bankstown , my wife came back to the car and noticed the driver side mirror missing !!!

she looked around and saw the mirror about 10m away from the car, the mirror/glass itself was shattered and the mirror housing completely cleanly ripped off from the car itself !!!

fckers didnt even leave a note

I was wondering if anyone had a spare driver side mirror for sale ? Ive checked ebay and found one for $190 USD + shipping . Also would anyone know how to replace one ?

Sorry to hear it. Bastards who damage other peoples property and not take responsibility should rot in hell and on earth. I park far away from anyone else when Im at public car parks.

Sorry to hear about that man, I was parked at Uni once and I think someone on a bicycle hit their handle bar into my drivers side mirror as there's a mark there also!

Cyclists are SO annoying!

Mirrors are so fkn easy, you don't need a diy, you need some torx and common sense. The only way you can get to the mirror is by taking the door panel off so you take that off then there is like 3 screws holding the mirror on, you honestly cant screw it up.

And no, as much as i want a wide body kit i'm not going to get one just so i can sell you my front right quarter panel .

If its just a small dint you should be able to go to those hail dint guys and get it sucked out.

One tip: Never park in Bankstown. No good reason to go to Bankstown anyway...unless your Asian and in for Asian food...
