Wing mirror smashed in hit and run

Hi!
I am new to the forum so hello!!
I usually leave the car things to my husband but this happened on my watch and he’s busy with work so I’m trying to take charge!
Outside my son’s school yesterday some wonderful person took the mirror off the driver side and drove off.
It’s the camera mirror and is now hanging by the cable. The mirror and camera itself are fine I think. The camera still works but the plastic arm that then moulds into the side panel on the car itself has snapped. I’ve attached a photo.
Am I looking at a whole new mirror or can I just get the arm and moulding replaced? I wanted to ask here first as feel I need a heads up before I get sucked into paying for something that we might be able to sort cheaper ourselves.
Anyone had any experience of this?
Thanks so much in advance. I really appreciate any help or advice.
