Talking From a Volvo to a Jag :-)

Hey All. New to Jaguar, But happy I made the move. I am 48 Yrs young and have owned many a car. From a '70 Chevelle 454 LS6 SS to an '83 Vega...Lol. I just purchased an awesome '02 S-Type and can't be happier w/ my purchase. Day 1 w/ the car my local car wash broke my passenger mirror cover and I can't find a good used one. New one unpainted is $122 from the only Jag dealer for 100 miles...Sheesh. I will probably be asking all kinds of questions in the future as I want to keep my '02 the best it can be. See you around the forums :-)

Welcome to the real world.

From a Volvo to a Jaguar, that would be a quantum leap haha. Your "smiley" says it all I think.

Contact the suppliers supporting this site, or try the internet for that cover, UK dealers/independent parts suppliers are everywhere.

Welcome to the forum msimmers6865,

Good to have you with us. I hope the mirror cover was a lot less than $122.

Enjoy the forum.

Ouch!

I was hoping you'd get away with a bigger saving than 82 cents!
