Arent a good combination.
I managed to blow off both of my mirror glass during a high speed mapping test down a local private road the other night.
Replacement glass was only £8 to my delight lol

poor little corsa was probably buckling under the forces...

I think I remember someones wheel arch liner coming off whilst travelling at speed in a TB'd corsa...

my M3 one fell off was going off the clock and it popped off

might also be due to those damn kids in my area who kicked my mirror off the other month...
