Default some questions already

OK - here we go...first of many no doubt.

Anyone know the source of the chrome rims to the front headlamps? I have one poor one which may need rechroming but a replacement would probably end up cheaper. Might just replace all 4 if a reasonable price. They do look familiar but cannot place them at present.

Is there a source for the chrome finisher clips that cover the windscreen gaps centre top and bottom? They look like E type.

Anyone upgraded the door mirrors to electric? - I thought XJS or S3 XJ6 would fit perfectly with the toggle switch in drivers door. Views on this? I do find it rather difficult not having remote on the passenger side.

Centre badges for hubcaps. Should these be plain chrome or coloured eg orange?

Sensible wheel upgrades also considered - I have seen Jag wheels on a couple of 411s. Is the PCD the same?
