Default Carbon / fibre

On my XKR from Mina. I think Im becoming a C/F fanatic. I love it. I can always change it back if I get fed up with it. It will go with the XKR.S rear spoiler .(next), I think it brightens up the plain silver colour of the car. BL

How is the weave on the CF? I didn't really like the look of my CF weave on my Mina hood vents on my XKR compared to my Rover's CF hood vents.

But again I only paid $175 for the Mina's Carbon Fiber hood vents compared to $950 for my Rover's Carbon Fiber hood vents. Mina's CF is definitely much less expensive than OEM Carbon Fiber from JLR.

Default C/F weave

I like the weave but then again I have no other to compare it to, I have also installed the Mina XKRS rear spoiler that has C/F in it so it all matches. I have to say the workmanship and finish is excellent. BL

How is the fitment? Is it as good as an OEM piece? I did a bodykit on a car years ago from a pretty premium supplier that fit horribly and always regretted it. Also, with the rear splitter, is that something that hangs lower than the body line or are side skirts needed to have a consistent line throughout the car?

The fit and quality is every bit as good as OEM, I dont have a body kit or rear splitter, so I cant give any opinion on them. BL

Default R badge on front grill?

GhostRider - How did you install the R badge on your front grille? I hate to be a copy cat but I too thought of doing it but wanted to know what works best.

Thanks,
