Pillar vs car

    So I had a incident with a car park pillar and my car came out worse for wear;
    • lost the wing mirror glass, (frame is still there but seems cracked in a few places so figured I just change the whole thing).
    • I also lost my indicator light casing.
    • Scratch on door

    After some light research I noticed these seemed like some basic jobs that I could take a punt at. Both light features cost around 30 euro altogether

    Its a manual mirror so no wiring, any quick tips of advise or should I just go straight at it.

    Furthermore I'm not exactly worried too much about the scratch but is there anything I could do to treat it at least.

    Appreciate any feedback.

    Mirror glass usually a cheap fix with self adhesive glass you can buy from most motor factors or Ebay that would be specific size to match the original.
    Indicator light casing would be cheap too, either got from scrapyard or Ebay.
    Paint scrape fix will be most difficult if you want the job to look professional it may be beyond your skills but depending on the age and colour of the car a bodge job might look decent enough.

    Its actually the whole wing mirror


    Either way, bought a wing mirror with glass for 15 quid.. removed the damaged one and was set to put on the new one..... problem is there is a small piece of foam thats meant to go between the door and the wing mirror fixture but its too thick and it wont screw on as it should any recommendations.
