For all you weight loss junkies who want to make your MINI the leanest and meanest.........here's an article from an other forum. Not as bad as I thought it would be. The process might be the same if someone made a CF roof for the MINI. Pretty cool.

Carbon Fiber Roof replacement

 

some body I know,'s been thinking about it for a year but got side tracked on an other project still in the plan

 

Yeah, I wonder who that is????

 

I can't imagine what the cost of that would be for a Mini. It would have to be a serious two piece mold. A lot more material and labor then the M3.
Unfortunately not allowed in most racing classes.

 

So will your see the track this season?

What's the quetion?

 

I beleiv he was asking if you will be tracking your car this season.....

Sure looks ready to go from the pics. Just need some good weather in the N/east for testing. Tracks covered in snow such without a snowmobile.

 

That's one of the sickest E46's out there....until mines done (which will be never)... I think this is the same car but modded at different times (notice the Brembos F&R)...hmmmmm

 

thats pretty neat stuff, but a MAJOR project. ( remove front and rear glass ) as stated in the article. easier said then done. i do windshields and i think unless you were REALLY good, you would have to replace both front and rear glass during this roof venture due to the probable damage you do removing them. dont forget to include those in the cost of the roof. this projects not for me but still looks pretty cool.

 

that's PIMP!

wow that is really nice looking how much did that cost you? time?

 

Duell, japanese tuner's take on r56.
The C/F does not replace the whole roof i think
mainly for looks..

 

Isn't this one of the Duel Minis? Very cool, but probably very expensive. I'll take 2.

 

hey, back to the shed - you've got a project in the works . You don't have time to read posts let alone post .

 

I spent the whole week end in there, I needed to come out for air once in a while

 

Nice...any more info on that ??

 

So, how have things been going carbonized? Anything new on your Mini?

 

That is sick!

 

I have been talking about doing a roof replacement for a while. The cf roof was one of the options i was looking into. This would ebviously happen after i finished grad school. I was e-mailing waymotorworks about the roof swap and what all was involved etc.. He never got back to me about the price though. oh well.
