Where to buy inexpensive exterior parts?

Does anyone know where can I purchase some inexpensive exterior parts for 2007 mini cooper s. I've been looking online but they seems to be on the pricier side.

Head Light cover, black - $147.95

Tail Light cover, black - $142.94

Exterior Light Ring/Trim, blackout - out of stock

Side Markers, Black/Tinted - $45.95

Or if there are DIY paint or vinyl links that you could direct me to?


(I'm a noob at this)
Thanks!

If you want to black out your MCS, use Plasti-dip. It's easy, removable and won't hurt your chrome. It's cheap 5-7 bucks at Home Depot.

I had my tail lights tinted when I had my windows tinted. The guy charged me 40$.

I've never seen those side markers cheaper... and I've had two sets.

Pay attention to the year it fits, some of those products fit a '02-'06, not your '07

+1 to Plastidip

Moss Mini has awesome black side marker LED amber lights. They are super bright.
