Kamikaze Pheasant
The glass in my offside door wing mirror was smashed by a kamikaze pheasant this evening.
Luckily I think that was all that was damaged, although there might be some marks on the door from the flailing mirror/glass after the bird had smashed it out of the housing. I'm sure the replacement mirror/glass, which is heated and auto dimming, will be reassuring expensive to replace! Andy |

That's terrible news. A friend of mine accidentally damaged his passenger side wing mirrors on his Mercedes CL. The repair bill was £800.
It's the first time I learnt that power folding, heated and auto dimming wing mirrors are expensive to repair. Thankfully I fold mine in whenever I lock the car. |

Luckily, it just looks like that it's just the glass that has been broken on the door wing mirror.
With discount, it is going to cost me the princely sum of £93 to replace. Could have been a lot worse had the whole of the mirror unit needed replacing, being of a motorised, heated and auto dimming type. |

Had a look on eBay, but they were mostly heated only, where the heating and auto dimming were few and far between.
There were a pair of used ones that were over £100 inc p&p, so I bit the bullet and bought one from the local dealer, whom happen to be a forum sponsor so I got discount. |
