Left indicator repeater

[Acksaw]

After having a pretty stressful day I went and put the cherry on the cake and scuffed the side of my mk4. Only had it a week!!

Reversed out the drive and nicked the neighbors wall slightly. Scuffed the paint off near the left indicator repeater which will require a touch up. Hopefully it'll be cheap but it has gone to the metal.

Of more importance is that the wall has taken my repeater out of the car. Only one clip is still attached to it. I'm sure this should be easy to replace but where can I get one from and for how much? I've currently got it taped on to the car at the moment!!

I could probably patch this one up so it stayed in but it has taken the metal clip post off as well and presumably it has fallen inside the body somewhere. Probably just needs gluing on if I can find it.

Any ideas?

Id just get one from seat, should only be a few quid. Sorry to hear about the misshap though.

No problem, it's my own fault =]

Just need to find out the colour of my car now so I can get a touchup pen or something time to scour the manual!

Make the best of a bad situation get some clear ones form ebay (no orange bulb showing unlike most standard ones) ebay will be cheaper than the dealers I imagine. Sorry to hear of your bad luck I know how you feel had a broken window and bent wheel and new tyre lately all not my fault.

I think dealers do the touch up pens quite cheap.

Your colour should be on the sticker on the car. Not sure if its on the door sills or the spare wheel well.

Cheers for the help guys, hungover today so don't even want to see the light of day but will venture out tomorrow and check the paint colour then it's onto the stealers on Tuesday, seems they don't have spares department open on weekends which is a pain as I work in the week but should be able to sort something out.

Just got off the phone with Stoke Seat, £8.50 for it, pick it up Saturday, I assume it's an easy thing to fit? Pull wires off current one and push wires into the sockets on the new one and then just secure it in?

i would of thought it would be something along them lines, was there much damage to the front wing then?

 

[Acksaw]

Only damage is on the indicator repeater and the paint just after it, will take a pic on Saturday, put Vaseline on it to stop it going rusty D) but it looks like it may be going rusty already! Is there anything else I can do to cover it up?

 

[rocky2008]

i didnt know vaseline stopped it going rusty lol, im not to sure really mate, i guess you could google "ways to prevent rust" i know oil prevents rust, so you could get some clear bike oil, put it on a cloth and rub it on

Get a girl mate to let you borrow some clear nail polish to out on it.

 

[Acksaw]

Not sure if that's the best idea as taking it off would take the paint with it...

 

[Aimez]

why would he take it off though thouh?
