Dang, that is some bad luck. Steer clear of black cats and mirrors from now on.

And I thought I had some bad luck when someone reversed out of their driveway without looking and straight into my parked 1'er when I'd only had it about 6 weeks. He took off the driver mirror and ruined my driver's door, and I wasn't even there at the time. Thankfully the bloke was fully insured (and honest) and claimed through their NRMA which meant I could use Stow Smash Repairs (Artarmon) for the fixes. A few hiccups along the way with Stow, but the final replacement door/mirror/respray is excellent.

Hope yours returns to full glory soon!

Donald sorry to hear, that is bad luck!

I've used Stow many years ago and thought they were good. A few years ago I used Scientific when i was rear ended. The job was average, I wouldn't go back to them.
