Can't help you with a swap, but just did a search on the EPC for the part numbers:

CRC100280JFV Cover-body colour exterior mirror - RH, Trophy Blue (later tear drop project drive style)

None available, as you say.

but....

CRC100290JFV Cover-body colour exterior mirror - LH, Trophy Blue (project drive later style)

One available in Ireland !!

Can they not be sprayed? Or, get some painted in the wrong colour off a scrap car, then get them sprayed and sell your chrome ones on ebay?

TBH, the chances of finding a pair of mirror covers in good condition is probably zero.....they usually have marks on them where they've been clipped.

I'd go for a freshly painted pair....just find a decent bodyshop.

In fact why not get them to paint a couple of pairs up at the same time...?
