Minspeed sells them. They call them Carbon Fibre but Theyre actually like a black "weave" look. Look awesome. I just ordered some. A friend of mine has them, so ive seen them in person and they look better than the factory silver decals.
I think your ride looks great & really dig how it all comes together. Your attention to detail & subtle accenting is way cool. The Cooper though.....I'm not sure about the hood color scheme. Not my cup o' tea. Just my opinion though.
Nice looking Mini! Looks to me like you have the Palo Uber CF hood scoop with the gold badge on it. Given your color scheme I would have thought the un-badged version would have worked better for you; maybe they did not yet offer it when you purchased yours. 
How long have you had the scoop? Any issues with it, yet? I ask because I reviewed that PU CF scoop here on NAM and I am just waiting for something negative to happen to it, because of the many problems I had with their Tuner Lugs (also reviewed here on NAM) 
and due to the NUMEROUS complaints I have read about from others about a host of their products.

thanks guys,
@blackie. I bought the scoop before they offered the one without the PU badge... But I don't hate it.. silver would be more cool but I don't really care.. It's so freakin small I need to say that PU were VERY helpfull and kind to me. I bought a scoop on the USA ebay and it was a counterfire (fake one). I didn't knew that and the scoop broke... so I mailed PU and then they told me it was a fake. Then they made me a GREAT price for a new scoop incl. postage. So I ordered one. So service is IMHO OK. (you know where OK comes from?? 0 killes)
The product itself is imo a good product.. It fits, looks sharp and the color.. accept for the badge also great in combination with the JCW carbon. I have seen loads of different colors in carbon but this looks great. So no hassle over here with PU
