I think I just ruined my engine

you can pick up passenger wing mirrors on ebay pretty cheap. i think its because drivers ones get knocked off more often (oncoming traffic clipping them)

£400 is crazy money for a wing mirror. i think i replaced mine for £15

nb. this was an old peugeot to be fair

I remember replacing my peugeot 309 mirror on my first car, after spending hours scrambling around a scrapyard (do they still let you do that? climb on and over all the old stacked up cars?) I found one, 15 quid, then as soon as i fitted it I knocked the other one off when i gave a parked car too much room and clipped the oncoming traffic.
