WHERE CAN I FIND MIRROR CAPS IN CHROME?

New to this site, just bought an 04 MCS that is pristine, and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find some Exterior mirror covers in the chrome look? I have gone to Moss Mini, Mini Mania, and Mini Car Parts. They have the stick on covers, or complete housings if I had a 07-08. I thought there was a complete cover I could buy for the earlier cars.
Also, anyone know of a good chrome interior dash set? The ones I have seen, do not include the tach, or the Harmon Karmon speakers. Is the ones at the dealer any better than the places I mentioned? (Probably can only affored Plastic crome) Thanks in advance!!!

$60.00 for a pair from:

I had the stick on covers for a while and they were OK...but, I would much prefer chrome mirrors rather than the covers...don't know where to get them though, and they are probably expensive.

Makes Mirrors stand out

Are you sure you want chrome mirrror caps, they may make the mirrors stand out, even more so than you want.

He didn't ask if anyone liked them or not just where to find them and it looks like he's got some answers, he probably doesn't and shouldn't care what some stranger likes or dislikes


boy I sure used the word "like" a lot there!

First of all #20Works4me, for most, we are ALL strangers here. Most of what is written in this forum is based upon: 95% Opinion, 4% fact, and 1% BS. That said, assisting others with making major purchases based upon our own experiences and opinions is why we are here.
And Peter, don't be so quick with your post regrets. I value your opinion as I am sure other's do here as well. And any information recieved prior to making a MINI aftermarket purchase is better than none.
nuff said.
