Default S8 wing mirror colour code

I've been toying with the idea of freshening up the wing mirrors but cannot find the paint code. All other models are supplied primed but the S8 is 'aluminium'. They are plastic and so have been painted at the manufacturer so there must be a paint code somewhere?

Mine are solid aluminium - Polished, not painted. I thought all S8's had them.

Edit. Ah, not a D2

I did question whether someone had swapped mine for plastic ones but the part numbers are correct and then remembered reading somewhere that the D3 got rid of the aluminium ones

Not sure how the justify the £441 for a plastic cap...

To be fair to them they never really worried about justifying the cost of any thing,as long as the number is big ,i was sure mine were alu as well ,but as usual i could be wrong
