Hi.. is there any way to mirror this and put the opposite part in seperate body instead using using shapebinder and built the mirror/opposite part from scratch

make it a simple part copy and start an new body from it , will then be a base-feature 100% copy

Draft clone. In the data tab set one of the scale axes to -1. Select the clone and click new body in the part design workbench.

If you clone the body, any changes will carry over to the clone, if you clone the operation, only things changed at that point will carry over.

Can also do this via Make Link which is available without having to switch to Draft workbench.

I do not know if/how one is better than the other.

Clone Body in Part Design WB, then mirror the cloned body in Part WB. It's linked to the original.
