Bought mine already, luckily they are out of stock so it makes me feel a bit better.

$243AUD at current exchange rate.

Even if you added $100 for shipping these are still not a bad buy. Or you could do the chrome and DIY mirror covers locally for $129 plus some scotch brite pads.

They are out of stock, but one of the links takes you to an enquiry page or something. My Japanese katakana and the rest is a bit rusty and I have no chance at reading any of the kanji.

a lot more than it would cost to take your original ones to a panel beater and say paint these silver please. They dont look to have a brushed aluminium finish on them.

They look to match the front grille pretty well to me, which isn't brushed but more of a matt silver with gloss on top.

yep that was my point. You can paint matte silver. You cant paint brushed aluminium.

Yup, they wouldn't be made out of aluminium due to the prohibitive costs involved.

I think these came out a while ago, but I didn't get into it as it was in German. Pic too.

Not sure what caps this guy is using but it shows the matt silver mirrors matching the R front grille.

Mine will be slightly different, but colours should be similar enough for the same type of look. Thanks Christophe.
