Has anyone successfully fitted their own wing mirror caps? I understand it's possible, but that there is a danger of the tabs cracking or snapping off completely. I want to swap my standard ONE caps for white caps and wondered if anyone in the forum could offer any guidance/tips/advice, etc.

Cheers

P.S. I don't have any knickerbocker glory spoons..

No problem. There's a trick sometimes to know what to search for. It's not always obvious.

Quick question, don't you have a black roof? Why would you want white mirror caps and not black ones?

Just a thought.
