Retrofit Side Mirrors

I know this is going to sound crazy. And over priced and just stupid

But i have a r53 mini. I always wanted those Black union jack flag mirror caps. But of course they don't come for r53, only r56 and later. I have found ones that will stick to factory, but its just not the same to me.

Is it possible to take a side mirror from r56 and install it on a r53?

i mean the holes line up, curve of the door etc with out having to mold the thing on it.


Thanks

Travis

R56 covers will NOT fit on an R53 mirror.
