   So buying a new wing mirror won't fix it... no idea what part of the car I'm supposed to be trying to find a replacement for? Googling "broken thing on saxo" isn't obviously going to help lol.
   
   Help please... again.

   if the entire mirror unit is hanging off the car, then you need a new mirror :/

   The mirror and its mount are together, cant replace the base easily. Best off getting down scrappy, theres 3 t20 bolts to undo under the trim inside the door

   Ahhh, yes I see what you mean now.
   
   If I can't find a silver wing mirror but can find another colour one, is it easy to take the caps off the back to swap them around?

   Would 1997 wing mirrors fit a 2002 properly?
   
   I asked the person selling them and they didn't know, so as clueless as me lol.
   
   Thank you for putting up with these stupid questions, but I don't know much about cars (obviously!)
