Red Bull gets some Carbon Fiber treatments **PICTURES**

Hey All
Have some new Carbon Fiber parts, bought the carbon fiber mirrors and rear hatch handle form Morristown Mini. Here are some updated photos.

Looking to finish off the rear with a carbon fiber lower valence when I find one resonably priced.

Going to focus on finishing the suspension next..but for a while I am just going to enjoy all the work that I put into it.













Finally got the Turbo Inlet hose on

God I swear, sometimes I think you just stole the design from that car right out of my thoughts. Honestly, it's exactly the same.

Ared bedline would look perfect on your MINI! + A red xenon head since you went for the pinstripe and brakes .


You do great work !!.
