My driver side door mirror was taken out by a skip lorry, breaking the metal parts inside, so I need to replace the entire unit. I cannot afford an insurance claim (cannot prove the skip guy actually did it) and cannot afford to have audi replace it for me, so thinking of buying off the internet (Original Aussenspiegel rechts Audi A6 4F 4G 4G1857410M Mythosschwarz | eBay) and fitting it myself.

Has anyone done this? Do I have to take the door card off, or is it more straight forward than that? Have been unable to find any info or guides online, and don't want to cause any more damage!

Many thanks for any advice.
