Mirror clipped by skip lorry

[ajw1100]

Roads around here are rather narrow, I could not avoid a narrow section and a skip lorry clipped my drivers door mirror and smashed the top cover and mirror. I have seen these on ebay but I cannot find out if the Blind spot monitoring system is part of the mirror glass or part of the internal workings of the mirror.
I have checked the functioning of the mirror and all seems to work which is a surprise bearing in mind the loud bang it made when it hit my door and removed a chip of paint.
The skip company is local so I hope they will get back to me re collision. (I'm not holding my breath)

Looked on Ebay for the mirror and the top cover in primer. Both available at £29.95 Each. from 'AS Cars'
Last Thursday I went to my MG Dealer and spoke to the service guy who said he would order them but didn't know how much. I prefer to get them from the dealer so if there is a problem I can go back even if they cost more than Ebay.
I phoned my dealer today Wednesday and was told the parts arrived on Tuesday and sorry for not phoning me. This was Easter Weekend
I collected them this afternoon.
Dealer price Mirror Glass £13.60
Mirror cover in Primer £16.93
Total £30.63 inc VAT

Ebay Total £59.90.
