The invention relates to a fastening construction for an exterior mirror unit for a motor vehicle, comprising two parts secured to each other substantially immovably at least in an axial direction. A first part has a frame, configured to cooperate with the second part, which accommodates a resilient element such that the frame can at least locally allow the resilient element, during assembly of the first part to the second part, to bend and/or spring away in a sideward direction which extends substantially transversely to the axial direction, while the frame at least locally prevents the resilient element from bending and/or springing away at least one way in said axial direction. The fastening construction is furthermore configured to have the resilient element, during the placement of the first and the second part onto each other, spring away in the sideward direction and thereupon have it at least partly spring back. The second part is configured to retain the sprung-back resilient element at least in axial direction.
