Repair broken mirror?

    Being a very impractical person am not sure what's the best way to fix this mirror. Was driving down a country road to New Ross when my mirror clipped another mirror, another Qashqai ironically. The red cover remains intact but the mirror is broken. The electrics all continue to function. The mirror glass itself has two wires connected to it, presumably for heating the elements or something. What's the best way to repair it, any advice? Pic below for your viewing pleasure ;)

    Does the red cover clip back on? Or is the clips broken? If it does, it looks like you'll just have to replace the mirror, but because it's heated it'll be costly. Even though the black plastic is smashed, if the cover goes over it I wouldn't worry about replacing it because no one will ever notice.

    Second hand mirror unit will be the cheapest option. Should able to find one in the same colour even as its fairly popular.

    There would be no repair for that one IMO as not only is the glass broken but it looks like some of the plastic housing/support etc is broken too.

    Thanks both, so perhaps just buy the whole unit second hand then. Besides ebay etc are there any sites you'd recommend for second hand part?

    Appreciate the quick replies, chaps, thank you.

    Ring a few local breakers yards would be the best bet. Plenty of cashcows around so should be easy to find.
