Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps

Has anyone seen these before? Not somethign to "stick" on the current cover, but a replacement in CF, like the chrome OEM ones. I would think with a CF scoop and mirror caps, it might look sexy.

MINI seems to have carbon fiber mirror cover as part of the Canadian market John Cooper Works package as seen in this link. http://www.mini.ca/en/Model_Range/MI...e/default.aspxYou could probably find a way to order them separatly if you can come up with a part number.

Like the OEM caps? I thought I had read somewhere they were adhered using two sided tape?

So if they clip on and do not use that 2-sided tape those are winners!!! Do we have confirmation on this Mike? And I thought Ducati gave me the business when it came to overpriced CF bits

Thanks In Advance!!!

I don't think they are stick-ons but I could be wrong. Here are some pictures I found on MINI2:
