Good evening
I am currently looking for some wing mirror caps and front number plate mount for my pre-facelift '88 car
does anyone know where I can find some? a look of the internet hasn't yielded anything
The mirror issue can be seen here:
Front plate mount and mirror caps were removed, along with the original plates, by a previous owner, and while I have tried to get into contact with them, it has been to no avail.
Any help in increasing the originality of the car, will be greatly appreciated

Re: Wanted - Wing mirror covers and front number plate mount
can't help on mirror covers and I know not the 'perfect' solution but our number plate holder got 'trashed' at some point due to parking 'too close'
I took the holder from the rear, cut the middle protrusion off , turned it upside down and fitted to the front. simples
not sure why it even needs a holder on the rear as number plate is quite happy sitting vertically

Top tip there!
I did contemplate seeing if it could be 3D printed or fibreglass moulded, but you’ve just saved me a load of work

I definitely have a front plate holder.
I have a pair of pre facelift mirrors in your colour I was going to retrofit to my vehicle as I prefer the shape, but I could be convinced to part with them...
