AUD$600 for the pair + labour... while RW carbon can get 2 sets over for AUD$600 delivered.
MY ONLY worry is the carbon fibre... Does it match the rear spoiler? I don't want different colours as it might look strange.

You're right that installing the mirror caps is an easy DIY job. I certainly wouldn't pay BMW labor prices to have it done. I have the BMW OEM CF spoiler on my car but I couldn't bring myself to pay what they were asking for the CF mirror caps so I had them wrapper in CF vinyl. They don't match the spoiler (spoiler is perfectly smooth and shiny because of the multiple layers of clear coat), but I don't think they look "strange" at all mainly because they're so far away from each other that you're never looking at both at the same time. If they were two parts right next to each other I'd be much more concerned about them matching.
