Total cost £10

so relieved!

wheel arch trim will be another tenner so result (as mishaps go!)

Body shop guy has said he'll order one in for me, so I'll get his trade discount. He's offered to fit it for £10 too. All in all, I'd been imagining a £500 bill, so even if it costs me £50 all I'll be happy, but for the likely £30 I'm ecstatic.

Must remember in future that the car curves out toward the bottom of the door, and also get used to not using the wing mirrors like cat's whiskers, and they're a good bit higher than most other vehicles!

RE: scuffed door

Which model do you have WD? If you have memory seating then they are also mated to memory mirrors - you could set one of the memories so the mirrors look down at the car's sides........................

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

Got a dynamic SD4

I've set the mirrors to dip, but unfortunately I was going forward at the time trying to squeeze through a gap that clearly wasn't big enough!
