My wing mirror has just been hit for the second time in a couple of months  :'(.

The supporting ring I replaced last time is completely broken but annoyingly there is another plastic part which isn't listed on the parts diagrams so I think it is not available separately although it is easily removed by undoing two machine screws.

So if anyone has a broken facelift driver's side mirror that would be great.  It's only one plastic bit that is essential as I can buy the supporting ring new though if it has that as well then it would be a bonus.

Hopefully all sorted.  I have repaired the part in question with some commercia grade glue and reinforced it.  It turned out to be a neat job (though it's out of site anyway) and probably stronger than it was before.  I should now only need the retainer ring.  Hopefully this one will last longer!
