Hi. Any of you guys know where I can get a Carbon Fibre Hood insert and a set of door mirrors from. Cheers Rip

I've got an extra hood insert that has a crack in it (repairable). If you can source somewhere to get a CF skin put on it, that might work ... or are you looking for the real thing?

Hi, looking for the real thing, as I'd like to replace the standard one on my car.

You might want to consider a "Vinyl Wrap" for the same exact look and a lot cheaper. Check-out the link below:

I recall the JDM mirrors have a button for folding it in, whereas the U.S. spec versions do not. I have a spare Driver's side mirror (would be passenger on JDM) if you're interested. PM me.

Thanks for the advise chaps, looks like wrappings the easiest option, have you any idea how durable this stuff is cheers Rip

Hi!
Frontera "B" series Mirrors are identical, at least the actual casing and mirror is!
The door mount is slightly different though. I'm thinking it might not be too difficult to just change the mountings over (presuming your door mountings are o.k. and it's just the casings that are damaged) Everything is in there though.. the electric adjustment and the mirror heater. B series door mirrors can be picked up pretty cheap on Ebay.
Here's an example:

Hope this helps!

BTW I'm just about to wrap my bonnet insert with cf. All I can advise is that it's probably best to use quality stuff. Most of the stuff on Ebay isn't good quality. Get the best you can afford, 3m or something. No Idea how long this stuff will last, but I don't suppose it's too much grief even if you have to change it yearly. The stuff I got I bought at Santa Pod a couple of months back at one of the Drag Meets. They had a whole car (Mini) wrapped in the stuff! So I guess it must be reasonably durable! Just found the flyer from the company I got it from! www.vehiclewrappingcompany.co.uk
