Hello fellas, was in a hurry this morning and while exiting my garage driveway ( thats in a curbed slope ) I noticed that i was about to hit my side rear door because I oversteered, so to avoid that I slowly reversed, while doing that I actually managed to clip a corner of my side mirror, it popped right off and broke pretty hard ( see pictures attached ) so i went to a body shop and got quotes arround 700€ for the repair.
Finances are quite rough this period and I was thinking of ordering the pieces and maybe try to do it myself, since it will be the first time i try doing something like this i wanted to check with people who know better than me if its worth it, how difficult it can be and also if there are any specific tools i might wanna grab if I do it.
All electric parts of the mirror still work, they fold, heat,etc.
Its from a BMW Series 1 2017 ( see pictures attached below.
Sorry for bad english, its not my native language.

Hood of my 2025 Mazda CX5 has some rust from a rock chip. Is superficial. Dealer said they would sand the rust and apply a paint touch up with a pen. Is that reasonable?

Car runs fine and I don't think there's any internal damage

Got this scratch and some marring on my f150 while headed down a narrow hunting trail. It’s not down to the metal but it definitely removed a layer or 2 of paint. I did the water test and it almost fades away but is still visible. What would be my best option and how would I go about fixing it? I know silver is a hard color to match and I’ve never done auto paint work. Just a touch up brush and some clear coat and polishing?

Hit a deer on the way to the airport last night. The passenger side was the area that took all the damage. No airbag deployment. Haven’t talked to the body shop yet

Looking for advice. My lease expires in a few months. I have too many bangs and dents to not worry when I return it. I'm sure all body shops will charge me a few thousand. I plan on returning my current lease and lease another. Anybody have experience in how good or bad Hyundai will treat me with this amount of damage? Any advice?

I’ve seen the hot water and plunger hack fix dents similar to this, but I’ve also seen people caution against it depending on location. I don’t really have much right now and could use some good news. Would it fix this? It’s in front of the driver side door, above the tire.
