need more Carbon Fibre?

when i bought my 54 MCS i added the JCW carbon bonnet scoop, now im thinking of the carbon mirrors and boot handle.

my car can be found here: http://www.mini2.com/forum/mini-coop...ew-s-pics.html

will it be 'too much' with the mirrors and handle?

do i really need the mirrors as they are black anyway and just get the boot handle?

opinions needed before i get in touch with woodmans.

Chris

My MCS has carbon fibre scoop, mirrors and boot handle and it looks great.

The mirrors you appreciate more up close.

I would go for it.

The Carbon Fibre works especially great with Red.

I can see your point with the Black mirrors - but if you can afford the expense I think it will complete the look.

Good luck deciding.

Get them all.

I have them all, including the JCW spoiler to top it off. Looks great

Having seen your car I'm now nearly convinced about the scoop, looks ace on red, what do you guys think it would like on electric blue/black?

They are complete new fiberglass sidepanels from Japan, I got them through a German contact. Here a thread about them.

Fairly hard to fit as it's not a 100% fit, but good quality,
