That is a beautiful interior. Can you provide details of the carbon fiber pieces? (source etc)
Again, really nice.

Mini-D, that is the sweetest Cooper interior I've seen. Well, maybe the sweetest interior period! Awesome, awesome, awesome. There are a couple CF pieces I'd like to have done (rear interior panels). How long did it take to get your project completed, cost effectiveness, etc.

Oh, I *really* like how you did your backseat!

Thanks Fracky!

It took about a month for everything, that is seats, headliner, carbon pieces etc. The guy is really good and conscientious, he did a couple of pieces over because he didn't like the way they looked. As for the cost, I am embarrased to admit, honestly , it was quite expensive, but still cheaper than if I bought the Hamann pieces. My wife was not happy when she found out how much!

I tried to talk to Hamann about splitting up there interior set, as I believe they could make a mint selling individual pieces. Let customers pick and choose. But they were adamant about selling it as a set! A very expensive set!

I ended up taking off the stock shifter trim and painting it graphite metallic tonight... right now Im waiting for the clear to dry completely. Will compound it tomorrow and see how it looks. :smile:

I bought a set of the stick-on CF kit from outmotoring the other day.
I installed it today and looks pretty good imo. Not GREAT!!! like Tul's
pict of minid's interior, but not bad at all. :smile: I was kinda skeptical
about these stick-on pieces, but since my interior's anthrasite, the
color matches well with the CF trim. will post picts when im done.

Thats awfully nice.

Those look like the Hamann pieces. I like the quality of the carbon, probably a little better than mine but much more expensive. My headliner is Alcantara too (black) and I had the guys carbon my pillars throughout. Thought about covering the door panels in leather but decided to hold off as you gotta stop somewhere. or do you?

Btw.

Kenchan your interior looks great with the carbon stuff. My only complaint about that stuff is they should cover the Airbag cover above the glovebox. I like the painted shifter ring too.
