Please can anyone help me to locate a new drivers wing mirror? I have a green fiat barchetta and the wing mirror has been destroyed by another car.

I also need the windscreen replaced as during the accident the mirror was forced through the windscreen. How accessable is the replacement windscreen, I mean can I rely on somewhere like Autoglass?

Finally, can anyone advise me how much I might expect to pay to fix the paintwork? It's scratched all up the drivers side with the silver from the other car and onto the drivers wing panel.

Any advice you can give me I really appreciate.


:) Thank you
 
That's really bad luck, Joannie.

It might be worth doing an eBay search for a wing mirror, although green's a pretty rare colour so you're unlikely to find one that won't need respraying. (It might be worth trying the french & german eBay sites too - although I'm afraid I can't help you with the french/german for 'wing mirror'! Buying parts from italy is a pain in my experience, as they often insist on money transfers and won't accept payment via paypal)

Paintwork costs will depend on how deep the scratches are, and whether there are any dents that need filling. The bodywork's very thin on the B, so I'm afraid it's very likely that you'll have some dents around the impact area. Any chance you can claim on the other's insurance?

Hope you get it sorted OK.
 
pm me, I've got a wing mirror for you.
A windshield too but i'm guessing it won't be easy to send that as well
