WTB: e46 sedan mirror caps

[Imola.ZHP]

I don't want to explain why (I'm an idiot), but I need to buy a pair of e46 sedan mirror caps. Preferably some sort of OEM gloss black (that matches our ZHP gloss black trim) but I would consider other colors as well, spray paint can make just about any color black.

Shipped to Memphis, TN.

Thanks!

EDIT: Anyone tried out some aftermarket CF mirror caps? Good? Bad?

I'd rather try to get OEM mirror caps and wrap them with CF to make sure fitment is good. I might have some caps but PO glued one to the housing.

You tried to pull them off and broke the plastic clips?

i think i still have my sedan side mirrors no glass no motors but all the other stuff if you could use any of it just pay shipping (they have been sitting in a box for like 3 years)

I need a pair too. Clearcoat is trashed. Marcus what's up with yours ?

I said I don't want to explain, but yes, I guess it went something like this...

"I wonder how these are attached, hmm, I bet its just a few clips *yank* cool, *yank* (other side), oh wait two of the tabs are broken off of this one, oh wait, they are all cracked and or broken off. I'm such a genius, that college education is really paying off."

Caps included? What color are they? I did crack the black plastic surround on the passenger side backing into the garage about 5 years ago, would be nice to replace that as well (amazing that superglue has held up this long).

Thats really generous of you!

See above mine are not perfect (pitted) but if you wanted to try to glue them on or attach them some other way I could send them to you once I have some replacements situated.

I thought you got too close to a pole. Thanks for the explanation.

Honestly Marcus, when I removed mine to do the pink plastidip, I cracked 3 of 4 tabs on each one... They still stay on just fine, haven't had a single issue since. I do plan to remove them and then reinstall them with some 2-part expanding foam as a sort of "glue" but it hasn't really been an issue, so I haven't worried about it yet... Just FYI...

Don't beat yourself up over something like that, its just a car!

The only way to avoid this is to pull the glass first, then depress tabs from inside with a standard screwdriver.

I understand you didn't want to explain this.

I wanted to make sure some other guys knew how to take them off without breaking the tabs.

You may purge this from your memory now, so next time, you can break them again
