Mirror caps - black

Anyone with a black 2017 x5 who has installed carbon fiber mirror caps want to sell their original black mirror caps? I want to replace my glacier silver with black. Once my order comes in ?. Anyone else done this? Nothing else on my car is carbon fiber. I would also prefer a black M aerodynamic package if it were available.

Thought about the roof but may pass. I had an s7 on order but the dealer hosed me around so I choose not to give Audi my $$$$. Was definitely going to wrap that roof black. I like the look of the black mirror with the window tint on a lighter colored car. The x5 roof just is too high to make a difference for me. How much was it to wrap your mirrors, if I may ask? I can't wait for my car!!!

This company out in Europe is selling a kit they will paint gloss black and ship to NY for $799. They send me some pics but I cannot upload using my ipad. I can email if you give me email address.

I was thinking about doing it as I have mineral white with gloss black rails, m performance gloss black kidney and rear lip spoiler.

Buy the caps from one of the online retailers and have a local shop paint them black. I did that as it cost $50 per side and $50 to paint both in BMW jet black

I had one of my installers do it for free, but I would normally charge someone about $50ish a mirror
