Got a few G.T tunning parts on my cooper s not sure if I should just sell the s with the parts on it minus the strut brace

Take everything that you can off The S that you "may" want to fit to the GP in future.
It'll save you buying them again and you can always sell them on at a later date if you don't fit 'em.

Whooo hooo ... another GP enters the fold. Like Pete says don't be afraid to remove the parts you might need ... I need a bigger garage for all the bits that I've collected over the years.

Thanks for your advice guys wasn't sure if changing bits over ie my larger intercooler and the G.T tuning cold air feed would result in a mapping ? putting my G.T tuning strut brace on and the 10mm plug leads.

Quick question the gp seems to wander about the road more than my s will that we tracking or something worn out ?

No point in swapping the I/C GP one is the best top mount out there and i would deflap and itg air filter but thats me i would still remove them before selling tho

Also the GP is lighter than the S but it may need bushes done

Like Rob says leave the inter-cooler as is the GP one is the best that you can get (proven) so no point in changing that. Cooler plugs / leads will make no difference but won't do it any harm. The upper GTT strut brace does make a difference and that's my first addition on any R53 ...
If your running standard GP set up ie standard alloys and run flats it will pull you over the road a bit more than the standard S but it shouldn't pull to one side if that what you mean. You can change that by fitting non run flats and you'll notice less road noise and a smoother ride.

Great looking GP, as others have said don't change the IC the GP intercooler is considered to be the best without a doubt.

No wasn't mine it was locked in the garage, thanks for all your help and advice

I think it was silver, I'm sure the guy at KH was from Peterhead or aberdoom.

Got the mini booked into BD Autos next week to sort the handling out , not sure Dunlop's are the best choice for the G.P any thoughts

[CiderFex]

I've only ever used the Bridgestone run flats it had on when I bought it and then Kumho KU39's from about a month or two after I bought i1499 in April '12.
I personally won't use any other tyre now as they cope very well with anything that I can throw their way.
They grip very well in the dry and wet, last for ages and are as cheap as chips.
