My Carbon Fiber Addiction 2016 Carbon Edition F55

Some folks are not a fan of Carbon Fiber, if so don't go any further.

I bought this car on a whim and I have really enjoyed it from the first day of ownership. I have a thing for Carbon Fiber and have outfitted my Carbon Edition MINI with just about everything I could find for it in CF. Still looking for a front splitter that I like. It's been fun making the car faster and handle better, but making it look unique has been fun too!

Enjoy my personal carbon fiber fetish!

I wasn't sure if I would like it, but working with my stripe guy, he convinced me to try it out and I am glad I did. They are simply a red plastic trim added to the wheels with an adhesive. I like how it brings all the exterior red together. The only issue with it is that whenever you change tires, the tire mounting machine removes the trim and you need to have it re-applied. Theses will end up being my winter wheels as I have a set of 18" Nuespeeds waiting to be installed within the next month or so.

It would be nice if somebody made high performance red lined tires!....not the retro red lines for muscle cars but a modern red lined tire....would look great on a black MINI!

Perso, I wait for who will be the first to propose the kit of 11 covers the interior ring but in Carbon and not in color until now.
Strange that this product isn't proposed.
