    Cosmetic damage

    I have a 2015 Mitsubishi Mirage ES w/CVT that has cosmetic damage. My driver door shuts fully, but is banged up. My front bumper has bitten a few deer on my daily commute, and my driver-side headlight is off-center. On top of that, my ex smashed in my rear hatch and that also looks horrendous. Mechanically, my car runs just fine, but I hate looking at it. Where can I find replacements for the driver door, hatch, front bumper, etc? This car only has 130,000 miles on it, and I plan to drive it to 250,000 before I even consider junking it.

    That may be tough. I suspect you will have to do these repairs piecemeal, as these cars are a little tougher to find in wrecking yards than a Corolla or a Civic. I would suggest looking on sites like carpart.com, or perhaps on Craigslist or OfferUp. I have found a few people parting out late model Mirages in my area using these two sites. Also, keep an eye on the local Pick-And-Pull's site. Late-model Mirages end up at these yards sometimes.

    I can tell you that replacing doors is pretty easy. When my Mirage was a little over a year old somebody backed into the rear passenger side door in a parking lot. Here is how to replace one.

    Take a look at Mitsubishi Parts now, I haven't bought anything off this online store, but someone on the Forum I was chatting to did, and had good luck. Could be an option, an expensive one, for cosmetic damage part replacement.

    Barlow auto wreckers in Washington has a get bumper. Google it. They show as having a few hatches too. Not sure about red though.
    There are 2 red hatched in b.c though. One in Aldergrove and one in abbotsford at pro auto recyclers.
    Look it up on car-part.com bumpers and hoods are 14-15 only and 17-19 only.hatches and headlights are the same. Except hid”

    Headlight off center or the bulb inside got jumbled around? Because if the latter, bulbs are a cinch to replace.
