This meant cost of fitting and calibration with six and a half hours in the workshop including a superb valet was nothing.
A great outcome in the end, but somewhat worrying when the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. Even more worrying is this is on a 2014 car, and no one seems to know how to fix them.

One curious question though. All this was for a side mirror. Why then does it need to be calibrated? Apart from being heated, auto-dimming, movable and foldable, what other magic does it possess that requires calibrating?
