Many top end door mirrors cost over a thousand pounds each to replace.

Yes, it is ridiculous for a mirror to cost more than a decent bicycle and
fall apart when touched instead of folding.

In the case in question it does sound as though the damage was
deliberately caused.

If a cyclist could damage the mirror of a moving car from a moving
bicycle
with his fist, he should be given a medal. Not just from getting the aim
but
to get any energy into a swing. Since it is so unlikely, you're just
showing
your usual cluelessness.

Glass breaks very easily, and would cost around the 50 pound mark which
the car owner asked for.

Then it seems you haven't a clue about the construction of a door mirror and
how the cyclist could possibly deliver a destructive blow while being
overtaken.

And you claim to be a competent mechanic?
