Two friends have done that, painted the mirrors on a UK model, and this import has RC mirrors fitted, but the mounting holes are different.

Re: White coloured mirrors - nc30 ??
Right this thread got me thinking, just been out to the garage and found my old pair of scruffy RC30 white mirrors.
anyway used a dremmel to remove the furthest forward stud and smooth, then used a 3mm drill bit and bored a new hole in the correct place in the material in the mirror mount. i drilled around 8mm deep.
Offered it up to the nosecone and mount, used the normal 10mm nut for the closest stud, then used a 25mm self tapper to secure the rear by screwing into the mirror pilot hole i just made.
works a treat, white mirrors same as UK spec, higher than standard jap mirrors so you can actually see behind you as any UK NC30 owner will confirm.
so silvers have a couple of pairs left if your quick, or matey on ebay has a pair for 99 quid buy it now
