Good evening,

I am looking for a 'reasonably priced' set of carbon mirror caps for my 2016 Polaris White V6 Coupe.

I've managed to source a set of OEM wing and bonnet vents at a very decent price but struggling with the mirror caps if anyone has them gathering dust :-)

Many thanks in advance

Echo the above for my car! I think they’re like hens teeth now.
Can anyone comment on quality, looks on the cheap over-fit versions?

Yip none to be found, I've been looking for months, did see a couple of pairs for sale but they want big money for them. A guy on Facebook market place has a pair at £575 if moneys no object.. I think you can still buy the drivers side from jaguar, but it's the passengers side that's discontinued.

I have a spare set of black mirror caps, that I'm going to get hydro dipped I think, seen some that have been done and they look nice.

Yes, I agree Hydro dipping is a great solution. Does it matter what colour donor caps are to be used?

I don't think it matters, to be honest, I think the have to prep and coat them before dipping.

Just pricing up the dipping solution, will post here once I get a quote.

Also looking at the chinese over fit covers that are less than £100 for the pair which is cheap if they look good.

As per @Cotswold Polaris - interested if anyone has fitted these and their opinion, photos...

I think the Chinese ones sit over the OEM ones so sit a bit higher than stock, another option is koshi carbon fiber, These replace the OEM ones but they clip and are bonded in as well.

I wish you'd put "Wanted" in the subject line - to save people being disappointed when they leapt in to buy them! :lol:

These look interesting. When you say they are bonded does that mean that they are stuck to the existing mirror cap?
