But some in primer and get them painted, I'm sure there can't be a shortage of mirror caps lol. Or try some used ones from a breakers yard.

From either a red convertible, that wants to swap theirs, or a dealer will sell them, they're about £160 for a pair I think, there is a thread on here about them
