    You're a bloke who can't even change a wing mirror on a Polo and we're the losers?

    Oh the irony.

    Some helpful responses but also plenty of loser Troll comments but I guess some people's lives are that empty.

    Got a quote for £30 off 1st Choice. Laters.

    Eh? !!!!!!?

    No wonder the original garage wanted to charge you £70. It was probably £20 +VAB*

    BeenThroughItAll you're from the North East and so I really don't have to try very hard to look down on you.

    I've got this image of a bunch of 'Little Britainers' living out their Walter Mitty fantasies behind their keyboards.

    You probably believe in Muslim terrorists and Ebola too.

    Oh dear, that's another ego added to the ignore list.

    If that was a dealer quote then that's just the price they charge.

    If it's an indy garage then Beenthroughitall's right. That's just their polite way of saying you've come across as a bit of a *insert sweary word* and we don't want your custom unless you pay through the nose"

    I have an 08 plate Polo. Don't forget the repeat indicator is on the wing mirror which will bump up the price a bit.

    Not the price of fitting it won't.

    does the new mirror include the repeater light , or does that have to be transferred over to the new one?

    Does the price include painting the mirror cover?

    Actually, I'm not. I just live there. I was born in Essex and educated in Suffolk. Frankly I don't care if you look down on me.


    I imagine you'll have some ready stereotypes to apply based on my East Anglian past, but if not, I suggest:
