I have a pair vgc chrome covers for exchange for the above,have stripped my waist finishers back to chrome and what with the handles and mirrors the car (to me ) now looks too bling/ top heavy!,foolishly I sold on my OEM colour coded ones and now regret it...any member interested?.

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?

I have thought of this option but as Im a fussy devil only OEM will do, 2nd best is not a option although persistence is!....Thanks anyway

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...?

Been thinking about it, any pics of yours?
My paint is starting to part company with the chrome side strips and I am considering a respray or taking them back to chrome, but havent seen a T/Blue with chrome on it.

Sorry no phots as I don't know how to,with a bit of digging I think you may find some images on here,easy enough to strip I bought a pack of clips off ebay and found the only way to get the wing one's of was to break the clip and then slide the strips off, the door strips slide off and its easier with a pair of rubber/surgical gloves to give some mega grip/pushing force when sliding them off and then stripped with nitromors and a kids lolly pop stick/wood as to prevent any damage to the finish,then polished up with polish and a strip of carpet which allows you to exert some force down on the chrome,the rear 1/4's are held in place with 2 x 8mm plastic nuts and rubber washers to prevent water ingress into the spare wheel well access to these is by removing the bulkhead carpet(saloon),I was a little apprehensive at first but once you get cracking..............a doddle
