For the mirror caps for the mini, was looking at getting them colour coded, what price should i be looking at??

either get them done by bmw, or someone else (paint workshop etc)

was quoted £65 each for the wing mirror cover which seems ok, anyone know if i can get them cheaper??

Seems a bit much to me, I was quoted £160 for 2 rear arches on ma 3-series. I think £65 for 2 seems more accurate, but I'm not in Glasgow so can't really give any examples of places to go.

Wouldn't you be better off buying mirror caps rather than getting current caps painted?

yea thats what i asked the guy to quote me on, actual caps and he came back with that price, so if i buy a pair of black or any kind of mirror caps take them to a special spray/paint centre it'll be cheaper youthink??

If your looking to get them in body colour im pretty sure dealer supplied in body colour would be cheaper than getting current/new ones painted.

Dont know how much they would charge for what your looking for, but have some great rates
for work I have had done from a company in Barrhead called Select Services.
Good workmanship and very pleased with the results for my wheel arches.
Their phone number is 0141 8818213 and ask for Alex.
