Anyone know where/how I can get a gp roof spoiler for my park lane?

Chris.

Nowere without a GP chassis number!!!

You'll need a new rear boot window, and 3rd hig level brake light setup. Basically a new rear boot for a GP is what you would need.

Would cost you a fortune if you could get the parts!

Cost will be way too high, the Spoiler alone costs well over a grand. Then there are a whole host of parts you need to change to get it to fit.

Go for the JCW spoiler it'll be a better bet.

I (personally) dont think it would go with the style of the car either. The GP is a bit different as it has the rest of the bodykit to go with it.

But if its what you want, thats cool

Think it was a good move by BMW tbh, I'd loathe a GP replica, I cant stand it when I see a mini one with a cooper S bonnet!

just like this one

it had the side skirts, front & rear bumpers side vents, bonnet, exhaust.

but it was missing the spoiler and engine

Rakey · Feb 28th, 2007, 10:11 PM

there is a company in Japan that does a replica GP spoiler that doesn't require a new boot and glass, but its stupidly priced

there are other threads on this subject too, with all the prices in and the links, if you search for like you should have done before starting another thread, then you will know all you need to know

Nothing wrong with emulating greatness

Before and after with my youngest brother's One..

Haggi · Feb 28th, 2007, 11:22 PM

^^ your brothers car is relay nice

the only thing i dont like is when folk fit the s bonnet and exhaust and badges thats just ott imo nothing wrong with the bumpers at all

Black&Blue · Feb 28th, 2007, 11:49 PM

no love it all on the S if you cant get the insurance on the S get a ONE and make it look like it but just dont put the badgeing on it i dont agree on that.
The new CooperS has a fake bonnet whats so different with that hah

There's two mini's locally that have S bonnets and ones a one the other a cooper. As they both have the standard cooper and one bumpers and grills and exhausts. Looks wrong, bonnet goes with the bumpers imo.

Oh and theres a red mini locally ,aint seen it in a while, that I though was an S, looked sweet and thought stunning car, till I walked round the front of it and it had no bonnet scoop, lol! Had the correct badging bumpers everything. Trying to pass it off as a Cooper S just aint cool, lol.

If its for looks I have to say the Cooper/one bonnet has nicer lines than the S so why do it?

Just glad I got DS and not EB as it was a Cooper S only colour at that stage. At least you cant get a DS fake!

I dont mind people emulating greatness, I just hate people thinking my cars slow as these copycats!

PmP · Mar 1st, 2007, 06:59 PM

And dont get me wrong, i dont mind Cooper S bumpers on a one, or the side skirts or centre exit exhaust (those are styling cues) but the bonnet only look just bugs me, and trying to pass it off as a Cooper S with the badging and side indictaor vents is the ultimate sin!

As for the R56 S scoop, they had to do something to distiguise the models or the situation would be worse!
