Say Hello to my little friend

[LMB]

Here's an interesting fact......the wheel bolts on the GP are fatter than regular Mini bolts.

Still not a fan of the looks but i bet the performance is hottttt!

First mod surely has to be to color code

[wibbly]

I was in Newcastle yesterday - I could havd dropped by and seen it in the flesh.

Looks like a sorted little motor. Nice one Mo!

Monteray is going to be so cool. I would have loved to have done something like that. I bet you can't wait.

I'm losing it here--unable to concentrate on anything.

Do us a favor, Mo. (or Stu or zoooom) Take a look at the "horns" in the front bumper--are they functional vents? I'm dying to know.

It's Banana P here, hijacked nylo, she's a goner!

OMG! Mo, it's absolutely gorgeous, I bet you're well chuffed?! Congrats

Congratulations

Do you mean the brake duct type things? If so I am afraid not. They're blocked.

[jimskater]

Yep, that's what I meant.

Damn! I'd hoped they were functional.

Maybe I'll let Jim Ray go after the back of 'em with a sawz-all.

Me too..it is a shame. But if anyone asks, I will just tell them they do.

I've been trying to find this out recently ... MINI are in the midst of changing the wheel bolt size across the board, and the early GP builds straddle the cut-in date!
I wanted to take wheel locks to Monterey, but we don't know which size - and anyway there's no stock of the new size

So I have the old size, but from your info, maybe they won't fit ...

That GP is stunning..!
Congratulations.

[mc_stl]

Quite cool, bet it's a lot of fun to drive.
I need my back seats, so I didn't ever consider the GP, but I sure wouldn't mind a spin in one for a day.
sweet look. have fun washing it.

Cheers guys.
