Wifes A class had its mirror scared today :(

[A210AMG]

Wife took the little one to a Church playgroup today, parked down a side road. With other cars normal 'sized' road. parallel parked.

Came back to find drivers side mirror pushed out and big scratches deep into the plastic.

I think you can get new covers so will check, but who ever hit it must have known as its really scored the plastic. Luckliy the glass is ok.

Just been out there trying to polish / touch it up. Its beyond polish but (in the dark) the touch up looked ok?

So if anyone has a drivers side A class mirror case (the one with the indicators) I don't think the AMG model's are any different?


Thanks

IIRC the mirror case was £30 (painted) for the W163 ML when I enquired a year or so ago. Mrs D called me and described a similar incident so I priced up the parts before I'd seen it. Turned out to be fine - just dislocated, once pushed back into position it was fine, so didn't actually buy one.

I really like my W114's mirror, its solid mounted on the door with an ally frame and a nice thick chromed metal back, its got a couple of dents in now as the road i have to drive up to get off my estate is very narrow because of parked cars, there is room for two cars to pass, not knowing how wide their car is has cost a couple of women there mirrors now, cos mine dont fold in it usually wins and pulls modern ones right off.
