Door mirror scratch - how can I fix it?

I have badly scratched my plastic door mirror for which Citroen require an arm and a leg to replace. Is there a way of repairing this please?

Get a spray can of the correct colour paint, sand out the scratch, mask off the area of car all around it and respray it. If you mean you have cracked or broken the mirror pod you can probably get a replacement pod from wingmirrorman.co.uk
