Pretty sure they don't exist. You would need to get them custom made. There are plenty of other CF mirrors out there though..

I have the F1 style cf mirrors but they are very small and I like the look of the Vitaloni ones better.

'Tear-drop' Vitaloni mirrors (California) have been around since the '70s. They have always been an aftermarket mirror and have adorned cars such as Ferrar, Lamborghini and DeTomaso amongst others.
Same way as a Beetle headlamp (not the chrome bit) is the same 7" unit fitted to other cars of the era.
Many circuit racers used the Vitaloni as an alternative to the chrome Talbot Berlin 'bullet' racing mirrors.

btw, the plastic rim on the left mirror is thicker than that on the right |

That would be the Vitaloni Baby Tornado

Vitaloni also made the Baby Turbo - both of which are squarer and quite popular on custom bugs in the 90's
