Ok, I may not have thought that through. Three major obstacles would be 1) the lip around the perimeter that seats into the housing, 2) the lower portion where the plastic makes a sharp angle to tuck under the turn signal, 3) the molded screw post under the turn signal which holds the brown metal piece.

Would be quite the challenge...you'd think Bosch or Porsche would have some leftovers lying around. They'd probably charge $400-500 each for them anyway
