Daylight robbery

[Toby]

So a little while back I kind of misjudged a gap whilst passing a parked car and our wing mirrors had and brief liason.

Whilst it was dark and I could easily have just buggered off, I did the decent thing and went back to inspect the damage and knock the door. His mirror was totally smashed off and in various small pieces in the road. Mine was still attached but the glass was smashed and the casing cracked at the back. Aside from that it still worked, the mirror adjustment and folding mechanism working fine.

Costs to repair? He got a complete new replacement wing mirror for his Citroen Xsara Picasso for £35. How much did Audi want just to repair mine? £465 !!!

This is just outrageous. I know the parts and labour are going to be more expensive with the German marques but seriously! I was expecting £200-300 but £465!?

My own damn fault of course. Will be a darn site more careful in the future and make sure I fold them every time I park from now on.
