Same here. Can't fault the execution though.
They mention a CF boot door. I wonder if it's a skin or what?

Why go to the trouble to paint the arches body color, and then put all of the black on there?

A lot of time and energy went into that. Not something I would do but, I wouldnt mind a chance to get a closer look.
All in All---Outstanding job of "You"-ification.

Once he gets those black bits painted red it'll look pretty nice.

I don't like...
But that's the great thing about MINI... Make it all your own.
I'd like it better if the car was jet black. But on red.. *bleh*

Paint the carbon and I'd love it. I love the wheels.
