Stolen Wing Mirror

DarkShadow · 17 Mar 2011 at 12:51

What is it with scums? I finished work late yesterday and I got to my car only to find my heated wing mirror was stolen. Has this happened to anyone before?

The place is fairly open as it's a route to the train stations but I guess not after sunset hours.

Any recommendation for replacements? I've checked out the bay, will give a scrapyard a whirl later.

It's an 03 Ph2 Clio.

Probably on a container by now.

Awing mirror?

Far more likely bolted to someones car by now

Actually, can the mirror even be removed from the OP's car without access to the inside? Most require unbolting from the inside of the door. Wonder if it's just been smashed off and someone has disposed of the evidence?

Doesn't surprise me.. you should see how easy it is to do that on the MINIs.

Stolen to order no doubt.

Wait, wat?

Do you mean the mirror itself or the entire "wing mirror"? If the latter then how did they get it off completely without getting in to your car?!

Corsa mirrors get stolen a lot, it's such a shame you can't even keep a car without scumbags having their way

Guy at work had is 316ti i think have various parts like the wings and indicator covers go missing over a weekend or something when he was away, on a busy public road too.

I had the rear window of a Saxo VTS smashed so they could nick the spoiler! If you want to balance the look of the car you can send me the drivers door heated mirror as mine is knackered!
