Compare Fiat 500 wing mirror replacement quotes from specialist garages

Fiat is known for its small-sized vehicles, like the iconic Fiat 500 and the Fiat Panda, famously one of ex-Top Gear presenter James May's favourite cars. Take a look at our list of top ten cars like the Fiat 500 here.

However, the brand has also branched out from its small-car origins, and in 2023, a Fiat E-Scudo all-electric van set a world record for the longest distance travelled by a van on a single charge, covering just over 311 miles.

Despite the earliest Fiat 500 being released all the way back in 1957, the latest iterations are still making waves, winning 'Best Small Car' at the 2022 Autocar Awards, with its electric counterpart, the 500e, winning 'Best Electric Small Car' at the 2023 WhatCar? Electric Car Awards.

Few cars can be called genuinely iconic, but the Fiat 500 is one of them. With its cheeky retro appearance and low running costs, it has long been a top choice for young drivers, and the latest version - which is all-electric - looks better than ever. Award panels agree - at the 2023 Parkers New Car Awards, the 500 won 'Small Electric Car of the Year', earning praise for its high-spec interior and performance.

Several common problems have been identified in earlier versions of the 500, including loose trim (the door handles are notorious for coming off) and worn clutches. In WhatCar?'s 2024 reliability survey, the Fiat 500 came 14th out of 15 vehicles in the small car class aged up to five years old.

A broken wing mirror is legally required to be repaired or replaced. It might be possible to carry out a car wing mirror replacement at home, but it's often easier to have a professional do it for you. You could book a mobile wing mirror repair if you'd rather have a mechanic come to your location.

A complete wing mirror unit replacement should take less than half an hour. Delivery of the unit is often the most time-consuming aspect of the job, so it may be quicker to go to a main dealer who already has the part in stock, although this will likely cost more than at an independent garage.

Ultimately, the cost is dependent on the extent of the damage. If you have a smashed wing mirror, you will only need to replace the glass, which is cheaper than replacing the whole wing mirror.
