Although epoxy is usually really good, it doesn't work so well with the mirror plastics.

Give it a go, by all means, what have you got to loose other than a tube of araldite?

But it may just be much easier to get another door mirror (from here) and fit that with no mess 8-) . Scroll down the page to find the right one. Some are electric and others adjust manually. You need to pick the right one for it to work properly.

no need to remove any glass of the quarter light , the black plastic interior panel just pops off.

if you have electrics in the mirror, you also need to remove the door card.

Hi

There are instructions to Replace the 2002-2009 Citroen C3 door mirrors - here.

If you have broken more than just the mirror assembly then you will need more parts than just the mirror and attaching some pictures of what you have broken and what you are attempting to replace it with would be helpful for everyone to see what you are facing.
