You talking about the one I was on about in a previous exterior thread? Or another one? I'm thinking of changing but waiting on a certain someones version.

I thought the Works Charger had s reduced pulley that was less than a 15% reduction!?

a: dunno... maybe...

b: yeah, 14.7% ish apparently. Certainly scope for larger reduction...? Or it may be that the sound was just 'enhanced' for the video...?

all depends on what the final product differences are, at a guess I would say yes as a change to a bumper is related to impact testing, so this will require testing, and some of the rumoured parts such as the aluminum bonnet would also require it and it could be the testing that is preventing some of the changes from happening or been confirmed.

Will there be a strut brace on the GP???

unlikely - its not be listed before, and its something that they can sell you after.... which is why I think there are a few JCW parts that might have been on this beastie that are missing...

It's big mind.

It doesn't have a very high chav rating though. It's a perfectly bright day and he has his lights on but forgot to put his front fogs on.

About two months ago I made enquires about the Works GP and at the time they didn't have a clue what I was talking about. They said that they would let me know if they got any info. This Wed they phoned me to say that they had been trying to e-mail me as they had just received the full spec of the GP, an allocation of 1 car and would I be interested!!! Guess what the answer was?

So I was wondering if this was the same for all dealers this week and if any have got better allocations than they first thought. So is there still some GP's available, that haven't been secured yet?

A notice a few things on this thread have been said about deposits on the GP. My dealer asked for a 1000 deposit. I was told it is refundable as the car was going to be delivered wheather it had a buyer or not and because it's a standard spec car, with no extras to be added on.
