The plastic casing on a mk5 mirror is just clipped on, use a thin flat head screw driver to lever the casing off the mirror body, working around the edges. Careful you don't slip

i tried this but seemed to be having no luck, just gonna mask it up instead now and get it touched up its black anyways but has a stone chip in it so needs flatting back and blowing over again

Cheers for the help tho! 8-)
