They now match the rest of the carbon on the car.
Do you have a link for the carbon mirror caps?

Not the forged ones. Those in standard carbon, look great.

They aren’t that great really close up, weave has a few imperfections and they’ve discoloured a little which I’m guessing is cheap lacquer which has reacted to sunlight? They are also a little bulky as they are carbon overlayed on plastic. I’m looking at replacing with these which are more OEM in design and in fitment.

These are what I have now.
