Hiya,

I am thinking and only thinking at the minute of trading in my focus st3 in orange for a Mini Cooper Works GP that I have seen at a dealers.

Just a quick couple of questions i need answering tho!

On the steering wheel, there a phone button, does the GP have bluetooth or not?

Does it have cruise control?

How hard is it to add a iPhone Aux connection?

Whats the best type of tyres to fit to them? ive been using Pirelli P Zero Rosso's on my Focus ST, but I know that some Mini's hve to have the run flats on them, not sure if they must have them fitted tho!

Also my focus has de cat fitted, is this a possibility or a No No on the GP?

Hope someone can help me out,

Thanks for your help

Andrew

Hello. Just upgraded to JCW from an S. It's not the the steering wheel, cruise or tyres you should be worried about. Aviva qouted nearly £350 extra for insurance cover. Been on Go compare and I can get it cheaper, I think, so if you are serious about a GP, go the insurance route first.
