We have our first batch of Carbon Fiber door handle inserts for the MC/MCS, and they look GREAT! Will be posting pictures later tonight. Retail will be $99.95, but we will have a special introductary price of $79.95 and free shipping to MCO members.

PICTURES BELOW!!!

I think some people, like myself, would prefer the actual handle itself made out of CF.

-These are exterior door handle cup inserts. They protect the paint from scratches (and look sweet!)

-CooperSpeed, we are working on actual handles/handle overlays in CF.

Funny you should ask! I just got done putting them in our online store... I have put the introductary pricing of $79.95. Jxlxr, we will try and get some pictures on a car tonight/tomorrow. As is always our policy - if you buy something from us and you don't like it, simply return it within 30 days (in the condition it arrived in) for a no hassle return policy.

That was me (I've been waiting for you to finish these), but in my zeal I'm afraid I made it all the way through the ordering process before you straightened out the list/sale prices....

Your card has been authorized for the 99.95 amount, but I will manually change it when I settle the transaction for $20.00 less.

Regards,

-Dan

P.S. Thanks for the purchase!

Thanks Dan - looking (impatiently) forward to their arrival.

Thanks Peter, Thanks Kurv!

Apparently Josh just snapped some pictures on a yellow (and another color I forgot) MINI at Brecht MINI here in SD. Will post pics as soon as he gets them to me.

No overlays. They have to be replacement parts. That is the only way I will get them...

You mean for the door handles? Are the stock handles easy to remove!? On the BMW's, they are integrated with the lock mechanism and you can't remove them w/o a large headache.

Any photos of these carbon fiber door handle inserts on a Jet Black Mini? (Or any color MINI for that matter).

Would like to see their effect on the exterior...I'm sure it's classy, probably kind of subtle on a Jet Black MINI...

photos please!

Rock On,
