**** ME SIDEWAYS....4 day old fit.****ed side mirror.PICS and please help =-(

So backing up I hit my brother side passenger mirror (ford focus,plastic mirror) with my awsome driver side mirror. The results are black scuffs or scratches idk..Here are some pics..Opinions. Can it be fixed cheap or should I buy a new casing for the mirror? I called a local body shop and they said its 165 for the casing. Im sure if I shopped around I could get it cheaper.

Opinions please


BTW its only the black part.The other lines are lighting+cellphone pic. The black is the only thing on the casing.
HOLY ****ING SHIT HOW THE **** DO I ADD A ****ING PICTURE,NO ****ING TAG WORKS!

Pull the door panel, couple of screws, remove window and lock switch set. Screws or bolts behind door panel, above tweeter (don't forget to unplug it and speaker. Remove them and mirror comes right off!

I wish you were riught... but with how new the fit is, finding one at the junk yard may be an issue... I haven't seen a single one at the yards around here, and i live right outside of st Louis... we have some great yards here.
