No, because they are curved you can't exactly wrap them. I found some on eBay with are Carbron Fibre mirror covers

You can wrap pretty much everything, including side mirrors. Id rather spend $15 on wrap than $100 on covers.. I might not even like the look.

Of course they can be wrapped. Id wonder how people could wrap whole cars but not be able to do side mirrors?? :p lol

I couldn't help you in terms of where you can go seeing as you are from Adelaide. If you don't trust yourself to do it, ask some other Adelaide members or get it done professionally. I reckon you could do it yourself though :D

I tried to wrap mine and took about 1 hour to complete each side! Very difficult to find a curve to cut alone once the wrap is applied. After being in the sun for a couple of hours the wrap started to peel and looked terrible. Personally I would consider the covers off ebay.

I had mine professionally done it looks great and was still a lot cheaper than buying the carbon fibre ones. There is a pic of them in my garage.

Some people would rather get ripped off on eBay then take the time and pride to do a simple job on their car :wink:

If you want I've still got my red plastic mirror covers that I can give/ship to you to practice on. They are a pain to wrap/vinyl but can be done with patience and a couple of beers!!
