Ah yes, saw this in the magazine. Beautiful work, just a little too much composite for my liking. I have 13x7 Revolutions & the same tyre, and they are a bit stretched even on them (Yokohama's recommended max. fitment is 6.5"). On the 13x8 rims they look even better. |

We have got those tyres on our 13x8 revolutions, but we got a wider width. they fit fine |

Even the 205/60 R13 is 5.5 to 7.5 recommended rim width, but I'm sure they fit & look great too. I would have loved 205 tread width, but needed to stick to the 505mm rolling diameter. |

I was thinking about starting to make some carbon fibre parts for my mini. That roof has inspired me... mmmm. |

What would be the legalities of a carbon roof here. Assuming you cut the old one out? |

No go, unless you can find an engineer who will put his "manhood" on the line to sign off on the mods permit. |

iirc when replacing body panels they are pretty strict on the replacement panels meeting the same strength/properties or similar? shame.. |

Didn't someone on here do the vinyl fake-carbon treatment? You can get some good 3M stuff that actually looks like carbon now which would look OK. I know it's not real, but on a road car, really, the only gain real carbon is giving you is in the looks department. I have wondered about doing my roof with it, but not looked into cost. I know it would be totally out of place on my Morris 1100, but I like the look of the 1300GT (which has a factory black vinyl roof) and I have some carbon mirror shells I made years ago that I want to use, so thought they could match. Hmm... |
