piece of cake. Flip up the plastic cover and you'll find 2 screws.

I think mx5 parts have a pair of the standard mirrors for 70 odd quid.

If I were you I would get something a bit cheaper from here:

maybe the second one down?

It is st for that to happen but being an Mx5 they would have probably rusted off anyway!

My car has a really ratty manual mirror missing bits of trim on the driver's side - the original electric one got pinched before I got the car frown

I keep trying to source a black electric one to match but I never see them on ebay and the places that sell s/h ones never have them in in black frown
