A truck clipped my mirror driving through central London. There was plenty of room but he decided he needed to pelt down the road two feet from the foot path. Thankfully the only damage was the clip on the back of the glass meaning I will probably have to replace the glass and the the mount on the back of the glass. It could have been worse I guess.

Popped into Beadles this morning. Thankfully it's just the glass that needs to be replaced so it will be £66 plus 10% off if I buy it on Wednesday |

Car got sorted today. As the spare parts guy suggested, got 10% off for purchasing it today. Fitting it was a bit of a pain as it doesn't just snap into place. Apparently there is a tool (?) for it. Spoke to the service department and they popped on the mirror in about 3 minutes. Best of all they didn't charge me to do it. So it's a big for Beadles Sidcup |
