I'm hoping I can mock something up by next weekend, then I'll perfect the plug and make a mould.

Who knew that carbon fiber attracted MINI drivers like Bieber attracted preteen girls. Sometimes got a following.

I'm not a fan of carbon, never really was. People like it, so I'll use it. I see more wanting just a matte black fiberglass version.

Actually I'll have to check the one on my friend's MCS but if I'm not mistaken the one that he has ( non CF) the one with the channel seems to be rubber of some sort, he bought the car with it so there is no telling where PO got it from but it look really cool.

One vote for the one with the channel. But I would take any extension. What sort of price are you thinking?

I'm not 100% sure at this point, and I'm not going to post pricing. Not sure the forum would allow that since I'm not a vendor and it's not fair to those that pay to be here. I'd like to organize this with Way/ Outmotoring/ etc.

I'd be in for one regardless of CF or FB or slotted or not been wanting one since I got the mini! I could even pick it up I live in Maryland too
