Fixing me mirror
So. Got a new camera so here is a couple of pics of my mirror (or whats left of it)
What do I need? Will bits off a non electric one fit? How do I fix it?
Any help gladly received.
Ta, Dave

Though without knowing whats wrong with your mirror I cant help any more than that. It was my folding mechanism that was stuffed.
Good luck
Mike

Super. have ordered one off Ian (WRAP IT NICE AND CAREFUL IAN. TA)
Was offered a complete mirror off Dreamwazza, but I wouldnt like to rip a perfectly good spare mirror in bits, just to get the glass off it.
Save that mirror for someone who loses more than I did Dreamy. I thought I needed more than I do. Didnt realise that the crappy white square was supposed to look like that. I thought it was something more ornate, that had gotten broken.
Ta all.

I am lucky enough not to have made too many driving mistakes but I made one this Sunday. Travelling down a narrow country kland with cars parked on the left. Stoped before the line of parked cars to allow oncoming vehicles to pass me. Actually, it was one of those borderline scenarios I hate. It was touch an go whether two vehicles could pass but it would have been inches and how does one judge. It is particularly difficult for me because I have spent the first 56 years of my life on two wheels (alright 50, I did not get my first motobike until I was 5!). Anyway, I drove on and another car appeared from a side turning and headed towards me. Bongo's wing mirror hit same on a parked car. It sounded like an explosion.
I pulled in at the first safe spot and went back to examine the car. The wing mirror had been pushed in and the plastic was scratched but the scratches did not look recent. Bongo's mirror was deflected by the collision and looked badly marked but those marks rubbed off with T-Cut.
Obviously it needs to be a far meatier contact to damage the Bongo and possibly I had only clipped mirrors at the very edge. Hate to think what a replacement mirror unit (not just the glass) would cost.
