TGGRRR (Ali) Posted March 5, 2012 Report Posted March 5, 2012 I ordered Tigger some really nice Carbon Fiber door handle covers. They are the real thing and look great, I also ordered the mirror cap covers which are in production now. After putting them on I looked at his fake carbon fiber snout and could not take it. It just didn't go with the real thing. Soooooo I ripped it off, which wasn't easy as that 3m double sided tape was really stuck on. I had to use my orange citrus goop removing spray and a plastic putty knife. His nose is all orange now and I like it so much better. It feels like I modded him, but I brought something back to stock If any of you are interested I got the CF pieces from http://www.carbonmini.com/ They have good prices and the quality is good. They even sent me a free CF shorty. Can't wait to get my mirror covers. One other thing about their carbon fiber, it's got a lot of give and flexibility, so it's really easy to install. The cheap stuff is really stiff and hard to install because the tape sticks solid before you get the piece positioned and then you curse at it for a while and fight with it and finally get it kind of straight. OK so I did a small mod and an unmod today Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
