just done a quick photoshop of a carbon boot and i cannot decide whether to go for it or not.

That does look rather mean! I guess it depends if you're looking to go carbon with other things to match it? Like a bonnet, wing mirrors and arches?
Actually i think i second SliverDragon!

unpainted arches look ok on any colour car.

If you were to go with a carbon boot, just paint the outside so that it matches, and leave the inside with the weave.
As for the smoothie, i'm also not a huge fan. I hate the huge number plate light, but I think the numberplate under the bumper makes the back end look like a bit fat a$$ with an appendage that shouldn't be there hanging down. But I suppose too, it also depends on how it's done.

Subtlety is the key to success I reckon....

the only thing with a carbon fibre boot is that if you get hit from behind then inasted of just needing a new boot you might need a whloe new rear end! :'( my friend was hit from behind and it caved his boot in but saved his rear end because it was metal.

I always wondered why people don't have them painted, surely they want it because it's light not just for show?

Or how about the idea I been toying with.... remove the large rear number plate lamp and smooth over the holes, then fit a mk1 style No. Plate surround with the smaller lamp.
Smooth, but not over the top.
As for the carbon fiber boot lid, bit unsure might look unfinished on the colour mini you have.
