Yes, the ones that are on eBay. I've been contemplating them for a while now and have talk with the guy a few times.
This is not for looks as I will most likely paint these parts. I got these for weight reduction, not only in the CF, but also in the leaving out of all the stuff that usually bolts to it, like headlights.
Here is an acquaintance's Mini with the hood.
Polycarbonate glass replacement is also in the works.

Just kidding ya, onasled. . . it's been neat watching your MINI evolve into the beast it is today and I love your track videos. . . .
After going to the race at Barber, I have really been wanting to get back out on the track. . . just need to wait for the next BMWCCA DE event. . . .

If a link was posted, it might only be live for a few days, until the current item's auction ended.

Have you changed your tune again. Sounds like your going deeper again. I think you better find out why you couldn't touch the 125-128 mph in the back straight at Watkins. 118-120 is a little week.. Just giving you a shot. I guess your thinking about Club racing again. Have you been to Pocono yet. I may be going later this month. I'll let you know. Keep up the good work. Gotta go faster at the Glen. Dump the 3% and put back the 0%. I think your running out of top end. Did you get the Unichip retuned yet? Stay in touch.
