    I know the feeling mate...I had my passenger mirror, along with the door and front corner panel smashed on New Years day by some ******** that didn't check his blindspot and changed lanes into me

    Then about a month ago I managed to clip the same mirror reversing out of my driveway

    I have about the same damage as you, I only need the outer covering replaced...the mirror and mechanisms work fine.
    Most people couldn't tell its damaged, but I can...
    Anyway, I would love to know whether you can just replace the outer shell easily, or whether you have to buy the whole lot...plus what It would cost to get it done.
    So, anybody that can help....

      You can buy the parts from dealer I had mine one changed by my mechanics and cost me $50 for the led part and $40 Labour. As you can't just but the clear plastic but the whole part with the led light.
      Hope it help. It is a cheap fix. I know is angry but only $100 so is alright I guess

          You can't just buy the cover, you have to buy the cover with the led light as the plastic cover and the led light are in one piece.

            A good opportunity to upgrade to the smoked mirror signals? Stay away from the dealer unless if you want to get raped! I purchased a set of smoked signals for around $50 from TMT on special, you would probably be able to change them yourself.

                    I'd be happy to give you a hand if you were in Brisbane... Or if I was in Perth.

                    But seeing as we are neither of those two, perhaps a panel beater would be able to swap it over for you.

                              You wont stuff up, it's quite simple. Just print out a DIY from golfmkv.com and follow it. That's what I did
