Hi Guy's and Gal's

I just wanted to know what the interest would be for genuine carbon fibre laminated parts on the 500, i.e a dash, mirror caps etc.

I currently make parts for the BMW Mini, mainly, but wanted to know peoples opinions on the subject?

thanks!

A few people might be interested but tbh I think unless you start doing things like panels or doorskins then a lot of people won't be bothered because of the lack of performance improvement for how much it costs.
 
Thanks for your reply, these parts are more for visual effect/sporty design, as the carbon is directly laminated over the existing part, therefore, no weigth loss.

The prices would be in the region of £169 for a dash! Please see attached a set done for the BMW Mini!

You will always get some sold for the ones that want to look different.
but I wouldn't expect a mad rush...

:slayer:
 
Thank you for your replies so far.

First of all i am not looking to sell here, simiply get a indication of popularity! Which seems to be against it, which strikes me as odd, but the people have spoken.

i would buy genuine CF dash panels (not overlay) for the 500 interior.
 
I actually quite like the look of them, the odd bit of it here and there would suit an Abarth interior IMO since they're generally darker inside. I wouldn't go for the entire dash though!
