Some jack ass did a hit ond run on my wing mirror, whilst driving the other day. Thankfully the damage appears limited to the painted cover. (it was run over by the car behind so has zero chance for recovery)

Does anyone know what the cheapest option for a new cover painted up is?
Ideally I just get one in the post as there's not even a screw holding it on. Don't really want to lose the car etc...

I thought I'd found the right Volvo part on ebay, but the seller tells me it's not the same part number i have Volvo 3004 256 RH moulded into the plastic.

I need it sprayed up as Meterorite Silver, should anyone else want to join a bulk buy club for replacements. My guess it there is a moderate paint set up charge for this should anyone else have damage they'd like to improve..

Reading other posts on here it looks like the part is £30 (same ish as Volvo via ebay). Paint via the ebay guy was circa £20 for Volvo colours, obviously a bit more for custom and the Aston word.

Cheers

I recently went through this. Got unpainted new DB9 MY'09 mirror caps then had them painted with the correct colour code by a local shop.

You will need to give them some reference as I told the paint is hand mixed therefore needs to be mixed with a reference to ensure an exact match. I just left the other mirror cap with the paint shop. Result was pretty good.
