Hello and welcome!

Hey Smitty!

Cheers for the message - stunning car btw - cracking example!

Yeah kept the car standard - wanting to keep it original as I can. Only mods I done are xenon HID lights, sub / amp under the passenger seat and upgraded speakers to H/K.

Wanting to do more to it, but cant think of what, not to mention being in two minds of making any visable changes to it - what u think? Any ideas?

Cheers! ;)

Hi and welcome to NMS

Thats the only changes I would make to a GP, as well as a glove box. Leave the car as much as standard as poss. The lack of rear speakers makes the GP stereo a bit drab so Im sure your upgrade will make it much better.

Cheers for the compliments! :smilewinkgrin:

It's hard with the GP - it's a stunning car in standard spec but at the same time you want it to stand out a little more from other GP's. So what you need is subtle little mods to add to the car rather than change it.

Have a wee dig around the site, particularity the gallery's and find out what other people have done to their MINI's as there are some serious mod freaks on here - me included (just need more cash first!!) :yes nod:

Hey Mate - cheers for the reply and advice... You couldnt be more right about the lack of rear speakers - my mobile sounded better before I had the amp and sub lol

Was actually quite surprised how much of a difference the mods made - sounds really awesome now (that is when i actually have the windows up and not listening to the exhaust ;))

Was thinking bout a full install for the back but having serious doubts now, considering the additional weight it would add, and making it even more of a theif magnet... !?!?

Hey buddy - cheers for the message and returned compliments!

Was thinking bout replacing the air intake for the JCW carbonfibre one, but then apply the GP sticker to that one - making it different to other GP's but still technically keeping the look - just making it look a bit more aggressive when u shoot up the arse of another car! ;)

Another thing I was thinking of was to add a chili red tow hook at the front (like u see in the JCW race challenge cars) to make it look even more "track-prepped")

Final idea was to have the ariel base in red too but worry that may look a little tacky :confused:

You ever had a shot in one or been out in one? If not I defo recommend it gets put on your list of things to do before you die lol ;)

Cheers mate

Welcome to NMSland :cool:, from a fellow Southsider :thumbs up:, what part you from ??

Would'nt mod the GP one iota (except for the sound system, if that's what yer into), the GP will be one sought after beast & if it were me looking for one I'd be looking for one that is 100% standard

No run for me sadly I am mini'less at the moment (but maybe not for too long :0 )

I had a GP when they first came out and sold it to fund buying my house and the house deal fell through, I was gutted.

I have now managed to buy the same house but had I know I could have kept the GP.

I had GP 0127.

Get your name down for next years Cullen run:thumbs up:
