Model: Mini Mini F57, F56, F55, F54 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Side mirror

If you want to give your Mini a personalised and quirky look, you can opt for a very simple and relatively inexpensive solution: replace the caps of the external mirrors. There are various options available, from chrome effects to carbon effects or designs that resemble flags. Whether you want to install ready-made caps or modify your own with wrapping film, you must first remove the existing caps. This operation is very simple; just grasp the cap with your hands and pull it out of its seat by pulling it backwards.
