Anybody know where to get the white mirror back covers for a Daf XF 105?
Think you’ll have to buy the plain ones and spray them
I had to do that for my car
i think you can only get the white ones from daf, i used to buy black ones and and spray them white, just remember to use paint that is for plastics
i think thats what i will do, plasticote spray. Daf will want a kings ransome for a set of covers.

think the last time (few years ago) i bought white mirror backs from daf they cost me about £40 hence the reason why i went down the paint them yourself route, if the truck is factory painted then the paint code will be on the passenger side door pillar somewhere
I used to use the white plasticote spray paint from wilkos
99% sure that the original DAF self coloured covers are made from a different, and weaker or more brittle type of plastic, than the black ones. Self painting may show up scratches that self coloured ones won`t, but they will probably last longer.

That is correct delrin / acetal plastic for the black ones and acrylic for the coloured ones. Which is why the sodding things break so easily
