Hi Mini2 members,

Can anyone give me his Mini cooper GP VIN to order a new intercooler ? because i have JCW and i want to install it. I will try to order from the dealer by the phone

Thanks.

tbh I don't think people make a habit of giving out their VIN numbers. If you need a new Intercooler I'd recommend GRS as they are very good. Many on here also use GTT's offering too. If you get either of these you can't go far wrong...

The intercooler look nice and the result is nice too but the price is too much

As Sef has said you'll be hard pushed to find someone willing to share that with you, as BMW/MINI keep a log of parts which are ordered against the individual VIN number, so I know I don't want someone ordering against my car to then find this has been abused and its recorded against me.

Also don't you think it will be strange if the VIN is registered in a country different your own?

you are right I just want to try. Here in Turkey you can order by VIN because of that I wanted.

I looked at GRS site pictures section all JCW kit cars installed GRS intercooler.

Here in UK you need the VIn number, the GP roof number, and the engine conversion number off the engine. All this has been put in place to ensure that only the owner or the person with the keys can get all 3 and use them. Its fairly strict on the ordering of GP parts, which is a good thing IMO as a GP owner
