    so my wing mirror is bust. i can clip it back on but the mechanism behind the mirror wont let me adjust it so it's just point at the ground. the mirror is cracked too.

    i know i could buy a replacement one but grg will fleece me.

    i know i could go to a scrap yard but not really feeling up to such things.

    would i pickup some sorta stick on mirror in halfords or something?

    thanks

    Not sure what grg is.

    Suggest you buy off ebay. We have bought about five (over the years) mirrors for various Ford Galaxies. All for under 100 euro which is much less than the main dealer price.

    my wing mirror clips back on but the mechanism is all broken and the mirror cant be adjusted (not even by pushing it with your fingers). so i basically need the bit that clips into the door of the car and the glass etc.

    will this do the job?

    thats your mirror complete not a bad deal just clip off the surround for the adjuster and just a couple of screws a two minute job , you will have to clen and polish the rest of the car so the mirror doesnt look out of place

    the car is so battered and bruised as it is that i really dont care what it looks like. i just want functionality.

    mirrors are kind of important , you could dirty the mirror it might be easier
