interesting to know, are there any other new parts used on the GP from the R56?

I have not seen either MINI, however I would bet money that the third brake light on the GP is also lifted from the 2007.

Has anyone an answer to the question asked earlier in this thread, if the Cooper S will still have a getrag?

Yes it will. It was confirmed in the recent press releases

Actually, it wasn't, but I asked and had it confirmed to add. I know people were concerned.
