    So, I took a bit of a risk. I ordered some carbon bits on eBay from China. I know I know, but the seller had 100% feedback, and I was getting two door handles and a fuel cap in genuine carbon for £80

    They arrived today and pleasantly surprised is an understatement.

    Packaging was superb if not a bit overkill, finish is perfect, and they fit so well they almost don't need adhesive (although they'll get adhesive)











    The seller was Mr Carbon, and from my experience, I would definitely recommend them.

    It's always worth taking a punt occasionally.

    They look great.

    Yep! Exactly the same

    The seller was "Mr Carbon" I didn't notice if he did any F56 pieces but he did do many other vehicles so maybe worth a little search!
