Went and scraped the passenger side wing mirror last night in the dam garage, :cry: does anyone know the colour of these as they arent the same colour as the car. Local spray shops quoted me £40 to do them both the same colour as the car which is platinum grey, not sure how that would look though.

Really easy to spray the caps yourself. Just need to de-grease, wash, sand (with about 1200 grit), wash again, then spray a few coats + lacquer. Here's the end result:
