Don't know what it's made of, but check post number 43. It's the same car and the mirrors are carbon fiber JCW caps...the real deal. If they are real CF, cool, if not...can you really tell the difference? I've got carbon fiber 'look' bonnet & boot stripes on my car, but they're not real carbon fiber...I'm not sure that's possible...could be the same with the 1.5" S's.

You'd have a hard time cutting carbon fiber that small, waste of time to be honest, and they'd be a lot more expensive than this :D.

To be honest, the stickers are going to be that small that it will look more of a dark grey/light black than CF unless you look closely anyway.

Any update on when they'll ship?

Speaking of Australia, I'm about to taste a Cooper's Vintage Ale. Do you reccomend leaving the sediment in the bottle or mixing it in?

True.. I guess I'll order an offset color. IDK just me but I only think CF is cool if its real...

Just to give you guys a quick update. I will be doming that decals today and trying to fill all the orders next week.

I did not anticipate the response to these when I made them.

I'm glad they are a hit.

Mike,

I'd blame the fact that it's inexpensive, looks cool, and no one else is doing them. I'm always glad to see you on the forefront of Mini Graphics...as time goes by, it's clear your skills are growing by leaps and bounds!

PM coming your way!

Put it pretty much all in the glass, but leave a bit down the bottom when drinking it . I got very plastered on this stuff when I was in Adelaide recently for the Australian Training Awards; was quite a laugh, Australias finest all getting plastered and singing karaoke. Funny thing is its also the way I met my partner .

Finally ... some pictures ...

Finally had a chance to wash my car (although it's supposed to rain again tomorrow - of course). Here are some pics of the new decals.







Thanks again, Mike.

So where do I go to get my commission??

I'm feelin' ya, Matt. I ordered mine on January 4th and received them on February 27th.

But they were definitely worth the wait! I just wasn't that happy with the flat vinyl black decal that I had on there before. The gel cover really makes it look more finished.

Let me know when yours come in (and post some pics!).

These look great and the price can't be beat. Are there any pictures of what the Chrome and Frost ones look like?

Hey guys. Nuff those look great on the black car. after I posted these for sale I had 14 orders come in with in that week so thanks for ordering.

All but what was ordered last week has been sent out so you should all get them very soon.
BTW the price of material has gone up substantially so this price for these decals won't last to much longer. So get while I have them so cheap.
They will go up to $15 and $20 after MOTD.

I will have more at AMVIV if anyone is going.
