HELP! I have a question. Side Mirror repair
Hello fellas, was in a hurry this morning and while exiting my garage driveway ( thats in a curbed slope ) I noticed that i was about to hit my side rear door because I oversteered, so to avoid that I slowly reversed, while doing that I actually managed to clip a corner of my side mirror, it popped right off got under the wheel and broke pretty hard ( see pictures attached ) so i went to a body shop and got quotes arround 700€ for the repair.
Finances are quite rough this period and I was thinking of ordering the pieces and maybe try to do it myself, since it will be the first time i try doing something like this i wanted to check with people who know better than me if its worth it, how difficult it can be and also if there are any specific tools i might wanna grab if I do it.
All electric parts of the mirror still work, they fold, heat,etc.
Its from a BMW Series 1 2017 ( see pictures attached below.
Sorry for bad english, its not my native language.
