Are there JCW carbon fiber door handles available yet somewhere to purchase?

 

Aesthetic Creations sells them and there is a group buy going on with a variety of carbon parts.

 

Those are carbon fiber covers, not the actual door handle.

 

The wait is long...

 

Not sure what you meant by "the wait is long", but thats a good looking MINI.

 

Not sure why the wait is long... NewMiniStuff.com has pretty much every replacement parts for every part of the mini exterior.

Here are the handles

Of course prices are in Sterling and they aren't cheap, but they look to be high quality. I'll be buying from these guys as soon as I can get the funds.

 

I just found them a few minutes before I read your post. They do have just about everything including door handles, speaker and door pull rings, dash vent rings, hazard/warning rings. The only thing they dont have is the interior door panels. All the stuff everyone else has, plus all the stuff they dont! The stuff is expensive and also expensive to ship though.

 

Yup... I've added up my order, and it's going to be about 1900.00 in parts and probably another 100+ in shipping... oh well you have to pay to play I guess. It'll be a while before I can afford them, but they will be mine... oh yes, they will be mine

 

I had handles on order from a forum vendor and waited 6 weeks, then I cancelled my order...

 

got my handles from newministuff in 6 weeks. wasnt that bad of a wait at all.

 

I was on their sight the other day and saw they carried them. How was the fit and finish of the handles. I have heard horror stories of trying to replace the handles. Is it really all that hard?

 

i cant say what the installation for 2nd gen entails, i swapped them on my 1st gen.
