Omega meets Stag.....
« on: 31 October 2008, 01:44:36 »
Omega now needs complete drivers mirror (The actual metal innards were torn like card - part of the metal is still bolted to the door!), new wing or wing pushing back into shape and a T-Cut.

Stag (huge antlers) has a limp and probably star silver Z147A markings.

I had no more verge left to manouvre out of way further as I already had two wheels on the grass and if he'd taken one more step I think he'd have stuck his antlers through the windscreen.  :o

Anyone know any good bodyshops in Warwick or Worcester?  :'(

Yes I certainly did! Keep seeing those antlers scraping along the drivers window.

Sorr to hear about that  :-[ Hope that you are ok. Let me know if i can be of any help checking any places out in the midlands as a few around me not far.

I know of a very good bodyshop in Leicester up the road from me .The guy did my dads one when it had a run in with a bus last year and did a great job.

Is it the drives wing and mirror that you need?.

Managed to get a 2nd hand mirror with the right colour cover from eBay. It's not heated so does anyone know if the two wires will still be present and it's just a case of putted a heated glass in?

What's involved with replacing a wing? Do you just remove all the bolts and it drops off or are there some welds?

Remnants of mirror



Note the torn metal  :o



Wing - thankfully only minor


Does anyone know if these wires will exist on the loom for a none heated mirror and I just need to change the glass?

Thanks Martin

Only salvageable parts from the mirror are the motor and the loom. :(
