Wing Mirror Issue!

[Greedy80]

Hi Guys,

I drive a platinum Ice IS200 SE and today a stupid woman driver smashed her wing mirror into mine and caused the silver facia of the wing mirror to fall of into the road. I managed to retrieve the wing mirror which although on the whole is in tact has large cracks in it, I can't tell you how fuming I have been this last hour.

Anyway my question to you guys is what do you think the best route would be to getting this sorted and how much do you think it might cost to be repaired or if necessary replaced. I would like to post a picture of the mirror but at this moment I don't have the cable for my phone handy, I'll do my best to do so later. So of course if anyone knows of a platinum Ice wing mirror facia going just let me know.

Thanks in advance guys

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident today matey : (

I need to replace my wing mirror too, had a scrape (previous owner)

so if anyone could show us how to remove and replace, would be mega helpful ?

Plenty of IS200's been broken on eBay mate, see if you can get a Plat Ice cover and mirror from there.

Are they easy to fit Kam ?

do they screw or clip on ?

Never changed a mirror on a IS200 tbh mate, but I guess you'll have to take the tweeter cover off (from the inside) and there are probably some screws and a electrical plug that needs unplugging before you can remove the damaged unit?

Ok well an update I have managed to get a quote from lexus for the body coloured shell on my wing mirror which a crazy woman driver broke. It's not too bad at 30.24 +vat, I honestly thought it would be more I went to a non lexus body shop and they were charging 30 for the part and the same again to paint it so I have opted for the Lexus option which comes pre-painted. Good stuff!

That is a good price for painted item!!!

I was going to ask whether it was the whole mirror or just the painted cover as they're quite cheap but as I got to the bottom I noticed you've already solved it - good result overall.

Well Guys just to finish of this thread I got my wing mirror cover from Lexus Poole on Wednesday and they were extremly helpful, Steve the parts guys there sadi he followed this forum and had seen this thread so he gave me a discount, top stuff! He even fitted the part for me there and then. Brilliant stuff! Just a shame I clipped in the first place but what can you do?
