Wing mirror is battered, top plastic casing is smashed. Glass is dislodged. It's also slightly dislodged from the body. Power/electrics still work. 

Is this a DIY job? Or to the garage?

Amazing thanks. Do I need to replace the entire thing, or just the casing? Can I pop it back in so it's flush again?

I've had this happen.   You can get a new casing.   It's not a difficult job.

Thanks - what about the part at the base, where it's come away from the car?

According to DH It's a DIY job but he thinks you are going to have to buy the whole mirror rather than just the casing; apparently the tricky bit is threading the cables.

Right ok! Thanks to you both. I'd rather have a go at doing it myself. Not sure where to buy the mirror from? And if I need any tools to remove bolts etc? If anyone could help I'd really appreciate it. 

Is this suitable?

It is as simple as this. The vid is a bit dark but you'll get the drift. Watch it a few times and then have a go.

Thank you! Although mine are power folding, is it still straightforward? Found a guy who said he will supply, colour match and fit it for £115 which seems really reasonable? Will ask him to demonstrate how to do it for future reference (hoping I never need to know again, but hey)

If you have to replace the whole mirror when you pull the old cable out with the old mirror tie a piece of string to the end.   You can then use the string to pull the new cable into position.   I did this once and it made things so much easier.

Thank you for the tip, I'll try this!

I unscrewed the mirror to try and figure out why it won't pop back into the body... It looks like one of those metal fixtures has snapped?

Power folding or not, dismantle and reassembly will be exactly the same.

Why not source one from a breaker and do it yourself? £115 seems an awful lot for a part that you can easily replace yourself in less than an hour for half the price and as for colour matching the shell buy a small aerosol can that matches. As I said, power fold or not, dismantle and re-fitting procedure is the same.
