R52 wing mirror backs

[andysteele]

I`ve recently picked up a 2007 Convertible Cooper S (R52), its got chequered flag wing mirrors, which aren't my taste, any tips on where I can pick up some replacement mirror backs/caps, ideally gloss black, or cool blue (body colour).

I`ve had a look on ebay and trying to avoid buying a whole wing mirror unit, with a scratched up back.

from looking at what I`ve got, its a cap that glued over a standard back, so don't want to buy the stick on covers eithers.

Cheers

thanks, but the current mirrors already have a 2nd layer over a standard back, which is chequered, hence I don't think I can put another layer on, and I`m not sure how well they will paint.

I think I have sources some cool blue ones, else I`ll keep a look out on ebay, have picked up a drivers side mirror in glass black, so just need the other side to make a pair in the cool blue ones don't turn out to be right.
