Polo Problems

Post by RobGTI »

Morning Guys,

After leaving the house this morning went to get in my car (WHICH IS PARKED ON MY DRIVE) and some idiot has kicked my wing mirror in. This is the carbon effect mirror from factory which was left all over the floor :( :( :(
I have ordered a replacement from VW as a backup but does anybody know of anybody breaking or selling?
I know this is unlikely but its worth a punt.
Angry is an understatement!!

Thanks Guys,

Rob.

I have mate yes luckily i think the actual cap and glass is okay and can be fitted back on but the rest of the mirror is destroyed.

Best to just change the whole unit does anybody have any guides on how to remove and fit?

Mate, your problem isn't the polo. It's people.

So true iichel; Jealousy is a terrible thing. Some people just don't like others to have nice posessions.

Hope you get it sorted soon Rob.

Cheers guys I have a whole new unit on order from VW picking it up tomorrow.

My dad is test driving a Golf R tomorrow from where i'm picking the part up from so will try and get a good will gesture from them for fitting.

Worth a try!!

UPDATE

After going to VW with my dad to test drive the Golf R and pick up my new mirror I had a turn of fortune!

After he put the deposit down on this new Golf R (Jealous) the service guys took my car into the garage and swapped the mirror over free of charge as a good will gesture.

There are many idiots in this world, but there are still good guys around!!!
