    Drivers door mirroe glass

    If you have the Chromatic type, unless you have money to burn, go for a standard one for £80 OE. The chromatic one was quoted to me as circa £870 + VAT and all it is is two pieces of glass sandwiched together and a small wire coming off it!!

    164 meet in Germany 26 / 27 September

    Mine languishes in the garage in Bleadon - close to you Alfa Muppet! A late 2L on a P plate needing a respray. The rear sub frame looked really 'crispy' when I looked last week and so I worry that it wouldn't even pass an MOT.
