Just about anything can be turned into carbon fibre, it'll always depend on price :p
Personally, i'd like to see an arm rest to fit the new model ;)

Id quite fancy carbon fibre arches and sideskirts...very orginal and look good against me racing green cooper!

Before you all get excited, and some people will say "you told me you cant get steering wheels anymore" this is the only 3 spoke steering wheel with out MFSW left in his stock. £400....but looks very nice hey :) ...for the poeple who didnt know, i cant get steering wheels anymore due to the 3-4 month turn around to get them made (which is too long basically) so the pic above is the last one ever :(

I'd wait 3 or 4 months for one but it would have to have MFSW with telephone buttons.:D:D:p
