The Ultimate Guide to Replacing Wing Mirrors
Wing mirrors are an important part of a vehicle. They enable you to drive safely and enjoy full awareness of all other vehicles, objects, cyclists and pedestrians around you.

Driving without two fully functional wing mirrors places both you and other road users at great risk.
But what should you do if you have a broken or damaged wing mirror? Should you try to fix it yourself, or get a replacement? Find out with our comprehensive guide to replacing a wing mirror.

How To Find Replacement Parts for My Car
It’s a fact of life that cars break down or need repairs. As much as manufacturers try to design and make highly reliable cars, the wear and tear from consistent use means auto parts are susceptible to faults. Worse still, accidents on the road are often unavoidable. Sometimes you and your vehicle may be involved in a prang where another driver is at fault.
At some point you will have to shop for a new car part. Whatever that part may be, there’s a fair chance you might feel a bit intimidated. After all, this is your car: something you rely on every day.
Dos and don’ts of getting rid of your old car
There comes a time in the life of any vehicle when it’s no longer safe or practical to use. What’s more, if you continue to drive an older car that’s not roadworthy, you could incur a hefty fine and some unnecessary points on your driving licence.
For thousands of drivers who have owned just a single vehicle for many years, they may have no idea how or when to get rid of a car. Nearly 1.5 million vehicles are scrapped in the UK each year, so it’s by no means a niche industry anymore.
