Headlight washer cover without having washers

So recently, my E92's drivers side cover fell off while driving and I'm looking for a replacement.
My car lacks the actual washers, so the cover is merely a thin cosmetic piece of plastic.

Can I buy one of these prepainted in jet black to make my life easier? I can only find covers for cars that have the washer behind them.

I have seen these for sale ore painted but I can't remember where.

You can easily buy from eBay and get a local shop to spray them, shouldn't cost much at all.

hmm I used clear silicone to stick mirror covers on and thats solid as hell.

Maybe a plastic super glue, something thats not going to melt the paint or plastic, be careful.

for one, don't use superglue (that may melt plastic). i just used high quality 3M double sided tape then zip tied to something internally so i won't loose it if it pops off.
