Just a note here, I purchased a pair of carbon fibre exterior door handles on auction this past week. Yes, I know, they came from the Far East. But, the quality is fantastic. While I have yet to purchase my Mini, I like the Carbon Fibre look. I, also got the rear deck handle in Carbon Fibre, but I believe that it is from a OEM BMW/Mini manufacturer, it came out great looking to.

I didn't know that anyone was making door handles for the Mini, and that is why I thought that I'd let you all know about this. No, I have no part of this venture, but just thought others might want to know about this. He makes interior, center console carbon, parts, dash pieces, and others. No he isn't cheap in the give away prices, but I think fair. Carbon Fibre items aren't cheap anywhere. Oh yes, he makes the carbon fibre grille trim, as well. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...lies/smile.gif

 

...so do you have a link or name of where you purchased these CF parts?

 

I really wish someone would actually start making CF hoods.

 

I belive these parts are from this user: http://myworld.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ku_engineering/

I was interested in these:

VIP Custom Parts has the Scuttles, Gas Cap, and Driving Light Covers in CF...

These guys have carbon fiber also for the Gen 2 cars

 

"I was interested in these:

-those are SICK. Oh, man I WANT these. $259 + $15 shipping ...$300 is a bit steep. but man are those nice.

 

eR1c,

Take a look at that ebay add: It says or best offer too. I got a set of carbon fibre door handles with the Best Offer and it was considerably less. Make an offer, what's the worse thing that can happen? He refuses!, or you may just get those for under $200. Try it and see.

 

yeah, i offered $150 and he said no, ...so I may make another offer of $175, then $200 ...we'll see!

 

Forget door handles. Try these puppies out for drool factor... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SEIBO...ht_2399wt_1167

 

Right, now lets find the rer hatch, the hood, oh yes then why not just do the whole body.

 

First gen though. Someone really needs to geton with making CF hood, hatch and doors for the 2nd gen mini's
