I had this happened to me: couple of years back (pre-Covid) (we have now learned to call 'time' as PC and AC, pre-Covid and after-Covid; like BC and AD from history books!).
I bumped my wing mirror to a landscaper's trailer containing all kind of junk, while I was fiddling with my car's stereo to play the 'correct' Michael Jackson song!
That stupidity cost me 600 bucks.... let me know how much yours cost! :)
For a whole new mirror piece it is meant to be nearly 400 pounds and that doesn't include the fitting - so kinda similar! I am hoping that the garage man can work on the temporary fix and do something for a bit less. I doubt it though!
Bloody wing mirrors, I await the judgement tomorrow of the final cost!!
At least you can say, you didn't do anything! You were innocent .... not even bystander ...
I was not so lucky! So I took a beating... :)
Yeek!! Not good! Yes, it was nice not actually walloping into something. I haven't had a prang for many years so I was hired that someone else did on me when I wasn't there.
Ah, the pre-covid times. It all seemed so different!
