Some haters at night time last saturday have broken my wing mirror right off. I was so Pissed that why i havnt posted on here for help yet..

 

Out of all the places it was local in kingston upon thames that it happaned. I cant believe it, its the first time any damage has been done to my car.. I have parked in much worse places in situation where it could have been damaged in london, central all over the place at all times, but never have i had anything happan to my car....but out of all the places in kingston!!! If i ever find who done it, u will most likely see me and them in the paper the next morning...If it was a car that hit it, fair enough i can understand, but the fact someone has kicked it or worse has made it personal!!! Whoever done it would of had to of kick it hard, as it was on the pavement side, so no way could it of been a car unless u can fit one through a 1 meter path...

 

it has snapped off, and is being held by the wires....There is a plastic tube that comes from the car and goes into the wing mirror and looks as if it holds it in place, that has been broken in 2 places and cannot be fixed.....

 

The folding mechanism is F****D, and seems to have a fault with it now, as when i switch the iginition on there is a buzzing sound comming from it as if it is trying to fold/unfold, I have had to open up the wing mirror and disconnect a wire from its motor to stop this.

 

I had a go at glueing the plastic joint on with some strong glue but no luck, its broken in such a way, 1 part of the broken tube is right inside the wing mirror and the other at the joint to the door..., Im having to think that I have to change the WHOLE THING, the whole wing mirror, the tube that goes into the door and the wire loom thing aswell, have been quoted from toyota £200 for the lot :(....

 

Im devestated, if u look at posts this time last week i was looking to spend some ££ getting a new speaker system and fitting my new bumper and getting it sprayed now this has happaned and screwed everything up

 

Do you know how hard it is going to be to change everything and does anyone know if I can pick up the parts cheaper?

 

I have pics on my phone and will upload them later as im at work at the moment..

Hmm well to be hounest i guess I was pushing it a bit, but basically do u know where the falling telephone boxes are, near Oceana, down that road....I parked my car there between about 10pm - 2.30am...Im guessing that smoe drunken people walked down the road after the club and broke it off....I had a gut feeling that something was wasnt right, then when i came to the car I saw it...but i mean its a residential road with parking spots and a few pizza shops about so i didnt think...

 

I got a feeling im somehow gonna find who done it....Where abouts do u live?
