It`s only the three screws that need undoing

[BazaJT]

If the crack on the back is on the body coloured mirror casing could you not simply  pop off broken mirror glass remove coloured casing and re-fit replacement parts?saves taking entire mirror assembly off the door.

That works too

DBG, you'll need both front door looms, the Elite mirrors, and depending on the wiring in the car, possibly the dash to drivers seat loom and elements of the dash loom...

Ahhh, thanks. Hmm.... like, though I do, the idea of using say 'position 2' as a 'reversing mode' I think the extra wiring involved for that would make my brain melt a bit... making an electric seat version of a CDX seat will probably be stretching my grey matter enough!

Thought 'b' would be to introduce an auto-dipping function to the door mirrors when reverse is engaged, which then return back once another gear is engaged. I'm sure some cars do this already.

Thought 'c' Just poke the button for all of 2 seconds to lower the mirrors, the 10% of the time I need it! And leave my seat the way it is.

'c' is winning so far

I dont know what the rack is like but I might be tempted to stick the crack with superglue and finish with a fine filler, smooth and repaint

[Diamond Black Geezer]

I'm thinking yes, just whack a new cover on. Oddly a longer job that removing and refitting a complete new mirror housing, but you're not looking for a rare colour, are you?

Will defo need the cabin loom, and internal mirror. Its an arse of an upgrade, easier to start out with an Elite and convert to a CDX if you want a CDX with full memory seats.

It's fine, that's now gone on the list of 'mods which will never happen, but nice in principle'
