My local skoda dealership has quoted me 199 pounds something to supply, spray & fit a new wing mirror to my fabia. Its a motorised and heated one, but still, seems an awful lot to me.

I had one for my Octavia a year or so ago - don't think it was quite that much, I seem to remember paying around

I had one damaged around a year ago.

I got a replacement from Butts, which was a lot cheaper than dealer. Slightly different design internally, but in function and looks there is no difference when fitted. Motorised and heated btw. Approx 60 quid.

As the painted cover was not damaged I was able to swap over this part to the new mirror and fit the whole thing myself.

Annoying thing was that all that was broken was a metal clip inside the housing, but guess what its not available to order seperately.

You could always do a search on somewhere like 247spares.com for a mirror from a breakers that's already painted up in the same colour as yours - might work out cheaper that way...
