Carbon fiber fenders / arches?
Is there anywhere I can get a set of carbon fiber-wrapped (or genuine CF) fenders / arches? This has been asked on NAM before without any real responses, but I figured I'd ask again since these would be really cool.
If there aren't any vendors out there that manufacture them, are there any businesses or individuals that could custom-make them?

So I talked to Jim at RogueSe7ens and he's going to do my arches in carbon fiber 
I think the price is pretty reasonable.
All I have to do now is decide whether to decide on the CF pattern direction... either ////// or \\\\\\\ or maybe passenger and drivers side should be opposite.. seems like most of the JCW parts and my carbon scuttles are //////, but want to be 100% sure before he gets started on my order.

No way! I want to be the only with CF arches! j/k
They are carbon fiber wrapped, which means you have to pick up a set of arches from MINI, or drive naked for a few weeks without them. It is genuine CF, not the 3M stuff. Here's what everything will cost:
$65 x 4 for a set of arches from MINI parts dept.
$10 for replacement clips in case you break any, MINI parts dept.
$140 deposit to Jim at RogueSe7ens to buy the materials
Another $140 or so due upon completion
$30 for shipping (est).

The pictures in post #7 look great! Judging from the gloss, I'm assuming the pieces are clearcoated after being wrapped?

Definitely looking forward to seeing this.
I would recommend the drivers side pattern to go /////
and the passenger side to be opposite \\\\\\
That way from the front of the car everything is pointing to the center.

It was an inside joke to Porthos. His mom has a Countryman but there's no way in hell she would ever buy it, whatever the price. It's bone-stock if you don't count the I Heart Xeik and Actual Size vinyl stickers.
i really want carbon fiber headlamp and taillamp rings and fuel cap. i dis like the chrome. but i cant seem to find any. i have or will have a jcw black with red top tomorrow.
if any one knows were to find them please let me know

I don't know if he still does them but I got my stuff from the same guy I recommended earlier; roguese7ens.com. Take a look at his photo gallery and you will see rings, gas caps and much more.
