Have you considered maybe painting the checkmate package on it? The black of the checkered being CF? Rite now it looks like the paintshop ran out of paint lol... I like your rims, what rims are they?

Nice wheels

I love the dark wheels with the silver lip on the DS MINI. Very nice.

Nice look I like CF as well...... something about the depth

I have a pair of Hamann widow posts in CF.... the seat belt mechanism and all... they are part of a $4500+ kit..... I may not use them as I bought them with some other parts.... if you are interested pm me
