Default Vandalism...gotta love it.

Someone did this to my Z in the daytime while it was in my driveway...



I was able to buff out the black scuff marks, although the bottom one left a small dent. They also left a small dent in my hood and scuff marks on my passenger headlight.

Would it be worth attempting to re-assemble to plastic pieces that hold the mirror and, if so, what would I use to bond it? Also, what can I use to remove the marks on my headlight cover?

Thanks.

Vandals are stupid. Now and them one gets shot, and the public cries that the owner “overreacted.”

had to be kids in your neighborhood, noone in their right mind would just walk up to your car and brake off the mirror and give it a few kicks. Have you been messing with anyone's girlfriend or anything along those lines?????

Is there anything that would bond strong enough for me to re-assemble the plastic pieces that hold the mirror up?

with that amount of damage to the mirror i wouldn't risk it. anything strong enough to hold it will be visible and look ugly. don't want it breaking off at 70 mph on the freeway and going into someone's windshield. get it replaced.
