Those of you that have them, could you tell me if they are chromed plastic or actual metal parts. I'm thinking of getting a pair, but I was hoping to use a scrotch brite pad on them to make them satin.

Chromed plastic. And don't you dare to work on them with scotch pads. You will need a new pair of mirror caps thereafter.
Why don't you get the mirror caps in your car colour. They look marvelous. And do not forget to glue the
mirror caps with a special glas glue as scotch tape will not hold the caps at high speed.

Indeed in car color they look better and I think you can find Zermatt silver allready colored and don'y have to buy primed and than pay again about the same for painting ike it's in my case. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

Haven't found any place locally yet. I ordered mud flaps from the dealer at a good price that was in line with what i could find on the net. Going by the dealer on Friday so I'll inquire on price for painted caps and let you know.
