Ford Fiesta 55 reg - replacing mirror

Hi, hope someone may be able to help.

I have a 55 reg fiesta and have broken the passenger side mirror. The casing itself is fine but the actual mirror has come out and smashed. Could anyone tell me how much I should be looking at to have this replaced or if it would be possible to do this myself (if so how much would I be looking at for parts and what is involved)

Thank you in advance for anyone that can help.
Old enough to know better, too young to care! :p

    Not done it for a while, but Halfords used to sell adhesive backed mirror glass that you just stuck over the broken mirror (after getting rid of any loose bits). They don't cost much and are dead easy to fit.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    Call your Ford dealership parts dept. They will let you know if can get mirror glass separate or if it is a whole unit. Can't think for a second that is will be expensive either way.

    its a fairly new car so if it was me i would get the original part from the dealer rather than using these.
    have used them on older vehicles though and are ok,but prefer original part.

    I have an s-reg fiesta (previous shape to yours) and it cost me £13.43 to replace my mirror two years ago - that was from the ford dealer parts department.

    they sell the mirror bit separately from the main casing
    Indecision is the key to flexibility :)
  • halfords or similar, the actual glass just unclips
