Yay, we saw the GP today.

Was great to see the GP in the flesh for the first time.

It looks fantastic and so worth putting our deposit down on one many months ago.

Love the colour, almost changes from grey to blue depending on the light.

Picked up a few GP brochures, should be worth a fiver each on E-bay.

If anyone is thinking of going to the Motorshow don't forget your Mini key fob so you can get onto the Mini barge for the free refreshments.

All in all a great day out.

I loved the paint colour and those alloys! But i can't understand why they've missed the black plastic trim off the side skirts. If they didn't want to include it they should have at least colour coded the wheel arches.

how comes i never saw any of these brochures and books people keep talking about

......must have been pre-occupied with that Cooper drop-top

I liked the colour of the GP - very nice - its the wheels im unsure of, still, easier to keep clean, what with less spokes

I've thought that a couple of times. It's the same where the black trim meets the front bumper, something looks like a bit of an after thought...

I'm sure someone will colour code theirs though, finish the job off
