very true. i want almost a full carbon fiber mini. but i know that wont happen for years and years.

 

Given the interest in the Mini community for mods, I am wondering why the factory isn't seeing a profit center here and coming out with a factory line of carbon fiber body parts- do the full monty and you'd have a superleggera Mini. Yowsa!

 

Well I am back...

First off, it's not my company that would be making the mentioned products. I can tell you that they are certainly not going to pay the prices that NAM wants to be a vendor...its extortion.

Secondly, I unfortunately cannot join the discussion with you guys in regards to the products mentioned in the title of the thread, nor can I PM about it.

Sooo, I guess all I can say is keep your eyes and ears open elsewhere

 

Factory? How many car manf. do you know of make a CF bodied car?

 

Mclaren, Ferrari, and...Mini!?!?! haha, right.

That would be sweet but engineering and then building a Mini completely of CF would push the price way way up. Never be worth it.

 

My point exactly... don't forget Lambo! lol

 

I think it would be worth it, it would take time and money. but idc

 

If money isn't an issue, I can get a guy to make one off CF pieces for you. Yer gonna pay for it!

 

Any up dates on this?

 

MiniRover, given the staggering amount of mods some people put into their cars, I bet that any number of people would gladly lighten their cars with a CF body part or two - especially the JCW boys. And I further bet there would be a number who would replace their complete body shell if they could.

 

Nobody said anything after my post. I won't even talk to "my guy" with this kind of interest.
