Welcome frostyandroid, neat name, ...can you please introduce yourself here (site requirement and only takes minute).. https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/n...-intro-must-5/

Why, ordinary mirror doesn't have the ability to defrost, doesn't have anti-glare properties and isn't convex for vision.

Why not go to the Marketplace, top task bar, 5th from the left. There are a few cars being parted out or a scrapyard. This way there is no cutting involved, just direct replacement.

It is couple of weeks since I replaced door mirror glass motor. So this is from outer memory. Its not like most nodern cars has. You have to turn the mirror glass all the way so that the outer edge is far in to the casing. Then you slide the glas sideways and pull outwards. I dont remember exactly what direction you have to turn the glass. Slide direction is easily derterment as glass wont budge to another way.
