An AM dealer quoted £1,300 for 2 wing mirror caps + paint!!

Any suggestions for cheaper sources? Unfortunately I have an uncommon colour so 2nd hand might not be an option.
I believe they are Volvo items, that might be a lead?

Can you not get yours refurb'd at a body shop? I'd be surprised if it would cost more than a couple of hundred quid.

Or buy some Carbon fibre ones on ebay - fit them yourself (I believe its relatively easy) - I think they're around £500

Or Aston martin bits - buy some good condition used ones and if necessary get painted.

If the car is pre-2010MY, you can also buy replacements from a Volvo dealer and have them painted at a local shop.

Or you could sand them smooth and wrap them in vinyl. smile

Yes that was a thought, but what model Volvo was it?

Don't know what to tell you. I see the images in all of my browser/devices. Does anyone else have problems seeing the images?

I can see them as well. Maybe photobucket is blocked where you are (work? China?)

Any recommended body shops in central London to do the painting?
