    I would be interested in a set of white caps if anyone ever happens to have a spare set.

    As the person who was fortunate enough to trade mirror caps with @JonR I can tell you he no longer has the yellow ones. And I am very happy with them on my car :)

    Since these are not available to order from the factory, I hope you guys that are looking are able to find a solution!

    Now we know what the smart thieves will be taking from certain MINI Cooper SEs. I wonder why MINI won't sell Energetic Yellow mirror caps? The side mirrors are some of the most frequently damaged parts of cars (especially garaged cars).

    Do the 2022+ LSI models even have yellow mirror caps as an option, or was that strictly a 2020-2021 thing?

    YUL
    I may be misremembering, but I do believe they were an option on the 2022½ cars like mine (ie 2023s ordered before the official 2023 changes).

    The yellow mirror caps were an option on some of the color selections when I ordered my 2022. But they were NOT available on the BRG I purchased.

    Speculators on this forum have speculated MINI never offered BRG with the Energetic Yellow options (including the 2020/21 grille "blade") because they were respecting Lotus' iconic BRG/yellow color combo. Why the Energetic Yellow bits were never offered with Chili Red paint remains open for esthetic speculation.

    I have only found the primed, the Union Jacks, or the JCW mirror caps for sale. I can't find the yellow or black caps at all. The yellow ones are painted and I don't think it is single stage paint. The black ones I traded for are not painted and just black plastic. This is so odd to me that they don't list the solid black plastic mirror caps for sale.

    Maybe to avoid confusion with Cockshutt tractors :D:D

    Looking to have my mirror caps painted the yellow SE color. Does anyone know for sure what color they are? Are they energetic yellow code C4N or liquid yellow code 902 or something else. I can’t find any definite information. Thanks.

    Oh, geez, now I'm going to have to find a Deere and see how close Deere Green is to British Racing Green. I'd hate to be mistaken for a tractor.
