Snapped wing mirror (needs mending before my husband sees!)
Discussion
I have a 2005 Honda Jazz and have discovered that the wing mirror has snapped off. The plastic inside the unit that holds the wing mirror on and upright appears to have sheared - can this be mended, repaired or replaced without considerable expense?
The wing mirrors are heated/electric/fold-in/same colour as the paintwork and I'm loathed to pay for a new one as the electrics are still working and there is no external damage.

Are you my wife? She has a Honda Jazz and is always denting it.
Anyway, your best is Ebay for a colour match. Buying a new unit would be expensive and then you would have to have it painted. I couldn't tell you if the current one could be mended without looking at it, but it sounds unlikely.
You should be able to get a second hand one from there, otherwise try breakeryard.com. You can request the part and anyone with a matching part will email you a price.

You're my OH - her Jazz has a dent/scratch on EVERY panel....
She did the same, it was a "mystery" - the matching paint on the telegraph pole outside was coincidental.
As for fixing - no, you can't, I looked in to this at length - It's a new mirror. I got a heated one, colour matched, for about £30 from a breaker on ebay - don't try to get a black one and get it painted, it's not worth it.
Fitting it, however, is a laugh a minute (!) as you need to remove the door card to do it. A haynes manual will help as Honda will charge a lot for this....
