Angry B*stard!

So returning to my Civic Wednesday night in the NCP nearest Cardiff International Arena, what greets me...?

...my wing mirror hanging off with shattered mirror. B*stard!

The car was parked next to a concrete support so there is no way anybody walked past my mirror to get into their car... this was a deliberate act of vandalism, or possibly part of a bungled attempt to smash my passenger window as there was a muddy smear on the window heading in the direction of the mirror.

I am very lucky on closer inspection in daylight though as there appears to be no structural damage to it & the cover clipped right back on, unscathed apart from a couple of minor scratches. The auto-fold still works, as did the mirror adjustment...

...until Amethyst Honda fitted the new glass. It was in for the handbrake recall on Friday & they went ahead & fitted the glass (only £27+vat)... now the mirror only goes up & down, not side to side. They are taking another look on Saturday.
