Jaguar put a CF roof panel on the F Type coupe. Noting that this panel is non-structural - and it replaces a painted aluminium item - this is form over function writ large.
In similar vein, remember Jeremy Clarkson suggesting that buyers of a particular Lamborghini who specified the optional CF centre tunnel trim for a mere £5k extra had developed a "flappy paddle head"...
