Looking for Carbon Fiber Mirrors

Anyone know of any reputable places that have the caps?

am not spending $$$ for the JCW caps...

Also, will the F56 caps fit the F55? Anyone know?

Yes, all the 3rd gen caps are interchangeable, with the exception of some models with the logo projection in the mirror cap (no worries for the F55/F56 though)

IIRC the folding versions are different from the non folders. Use alibaba and take your chances. I got screwed on side scuttles and mirror caps when I first got the F56. Just recently I bought a set of CF JCW exhaust tips and the darn things are big enough to fit a diesel exhaust pipe. Should learned the first time. I'm sure others have had better luck with them.

Go to a shop that does wraps.
Mirror covers are a pressure fit and easy to remove.
