Default I need some help guys :( ! [broken mirror housing]

So my sister drove my car last week and she accidentally hit my left mirror then i ordered a pair of those LED signal side mirrors but then i realized that it doesn't come with the inner piece cause the mirror got two pieces.
My question is that where can i get the inner piece or i have to buy the whole mirror ?? Anyone can help me please ? I would be soooo appreciated

Here's a pic of the mirror

Honestly, at that price, I'm dubious. It may be a cheap knockoff or it may be a scam.

I also cracked my mirror and had to replace it. You can buy the housing and motor without the glass from the dealership. It's still a couple hundred dollars (don't remember the exact price), but you won't have to worry about painting it to match or fitment issues or quality issues. I just sucked it up and bought it from the dealer.

The only other alternative is to go look in a junkyard. They will have the part for cheaper if you can find it. I tried that first, but no one had it in my color.

Thanks for your suggestion, i was thinking about going to the dealership too... but it might cost more than sewell cause its just a mirror i don't really want to spend that much on it , rather save up for more mods
I wanted to try if anyone would have like a extra mirror cover for sale or something.
But yeah, once again thanks for your suggestion !

Good idea.. there may be someone who does... I'd check the marketplace forum or again, just look for junkyards near you. Usually you can just call them up and ask if they have one. Most wrecked cars that have been totaled usually have their mirrors intact unless they rolled or got hit in the door area.
