No , had the bits hydroprinted , im not a weight watcher and the real carbon replacements are made in china and have fit issues , really pleased with the looks  :happy2:

I actually prefere this , real carbon although strong is nt a great material due to being too thin , thats why carbon copy parts never fit perfectly as mine now do
