Carbon Fibre Bits

Does anyone have any pictures of a black MCS (specifically Astro Black), with all/any of these: Carbon Fibre bonnet scoop/wingmirrors/boot handle?

I'm thinking about doing it to my Astro Black, but I'm not sure how it'll look. It's been mentioned to me that CF on AstroBlack (and other blacks) just looks "grey" and not too good.

Help me decide

I was the one who said that. I've seen it on a mates Mini, he fitted a CF scoop, and it just looked like a faded grey and did not suit the colour at all.

Will see if I can dig ya up a pic of it Mark.

Yep I agree with Baker. CF doesn't really look right with that colour

Doesn't look right - forget it.

The colours are just too close and it'll look cheap and patch-work

You're right! Bugger

Just fancied something to lift it from all black...but not chrome It's that pic of your CF scoop that did it Baker as it looks amazing on your car...but not on black (and particularly AB) it seems!
