how easy and how expensive is it to change a wing mirror on a 206 gti? It has electric mirrors.

3 Bolts.  Simple really.
All you have to do is open the door, pull the tweeter cover away, you will see the 3 bolts. Undo them, replace the wingmirror, re-tighten. Admire your work.

Depends if the car is preplexed or multiplexed, you can get them on ebay for around £30-40 each just make sure you get the right one! As tom said there really easy to change yourself aswell.

It's preplexed mate. Just had a quick look on ebay and there's a guy specialising in wing mirrors doing them for £80... cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBay...0501126109

i dont think mirrors are based on preplex/multiplex. It just depends what wiring you have and block connectors

I'm a muppet when it comes to this sort of thing but surely the electrical side will just be a clip in the connector type job?? or at least i hope so!!

On a GTi they are gloss black unless the 206 is black then they are onyx black.
You will either have a white 3x3 connector or a brown 2x5
If you buy mirrors with a different connector, you can change them anyway. Or hard wire them in

Cheers mate!
That site i posted seems good and it's only £57 including spraying so might go down that route!
