Chrome wing mirror caps

Anyone ever had their chrome wing mirror caps stolen?
Does anyone know if they only fit on the mini or do they fit on another car as well?

I had mine stolen 4 few weeks ago, from outside my house. I've had them replaced but the cheek of it.

I've not had much luck

The door mirrors can only be found on the MINI. The mirror caps will not fit another car. My worry is that someone with a Nova/Saxo etc has aquired some MINI door mirrors and wanted the chrome caps to go with them to fit to their car. I would hope it wasn't another MINI owner.

It would be really sad if it was another Mini owner... which is likely.

its also a useless act cos BMW in their wisdom disigned the mirror caps as single use only as the tags holding them snap off when removed i know cos i replaced my standard caps for chrome last year and the old ones were unusable

Well I suspect, broken tags or not, your chrome mirror caps will now be for sale on Ebay.
