Any real carbon fiber parts out there? Lightweight DD CM All4 S?
I've looked around and have only found CF hood and boot lids for the other Mini Cooper models.
I'm wondering if there are any hoods, hatches, doors or roofs out there? Even FRP; goal is just to be lighter and have a better power to weight ratio. Considering the engine can only produce so much power with all bolt-ons, I've read around 260-270 WHP "reliably", lightweight parts seem like a nice next step.
Anyone found any good CF products for this car?

I think a CF hood & hatch would be awesome.
The hood and hatch seem to be the heaviest pieces, I just don't think fenders would save much weight. I did that on my E46M3 in the past and saved about 8 lbs, but those were much more dense the our fenders. :thumbs:
CF doors would be sweet too...
