Carbon fibre wing mirror covers

[Grey One]

Does anyone know if there is anywhere still selling RHD carbon fibre wingmirror covers for the ISF?

I've searched online, but all that seems available are LHD sets.

Thanks

Thx will try that

It seems he no-longer does RHD wingmirror covers either for the ISF, and hasn't done so for some time.  Given the low numbers of RHD ISFs looks like these are as rare as hen's teeth to get hold of.  Ho hum etc...

I’m still flabbergasted that wing mirrors are different RHD / LHD 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Grey One]

So am I - visually they look the same size, but having initially ordered a LHD pair I can confirm they are very different sizes LOL!

Very odd. Im aware that they didn’t get folding mirrors in the US but did in the EU so it can’t be anything to do with that. So are the housings different size or just different moulding inside?

One side is smaller on the ISF. Not sure the exact specs and why, but I recall someone saying the ISF mirrors are different sizes, which would explain why LHD and RHD covers have issues.

It would explain it yes, but still very odd.

I work in Finance and making them different sizes just feels like an unnecessary production cost that could be avoided to me.

I've never found a definitive answer. The closest I could get was maybe down to the blindspot mirror being larger in whatever respective country the car was manufactured for. Which makes no sense because you could just make them all the same size to cut down on costs, as  you already pointed out. It's an odd one.

Anyone know if this is also the case for the later mirrors - 3IS/RCF/GSF?

I just bought some carbon mirror cap replacements from US seller and now worried I have made a mistake - dammit.

Not an ISF, but I bought carbon caps for my GSF from Toms Racing in Japan. Expensive, but high quality and, crucially, available for RHD.

Will mirror caps for the 2IS not fit the ISF?

eBay item no 296128648491

If they are for a RHD car quite possibly, but the ad doesn't say whether LHD or RHD?

Sent messages to the seller but no reply...
