Folding Mirrors Retro Fit?

Can someone tell me whether it is possible to retro fit the folding mirror option on a 1996 sl, and where the parts could be obtained/how much it might cost (I am UK based)?
I know that this was an option, controlled by a specific switch on the centre console, but I am planning on replacing my centre console soon and will have a spare space for the relevant switch.

Hi Nick,
I found a great article here: www.classic-roadster.de
The site is in German (hmmm). I have seen others recommend babblefish.com for translations.
Look at 'Tips and Modifications' > UPDATE: Aussenspiegel mit Blinker jetzt für alle Fahrzeuge dokumentiert.
Good Luck. Let me know if you need help with the German....
