I've bought a GP !!!

[N16SHP]

See Ryan's GP for what a GP should look like IMO - proper wheels, better suspension, better seats

Apart from the huge drop, I loved Ryan's GP having seen it in the flesh on a couple of occations, and I applaud him for being brave enough to do it.

No no no .. Can't mod a GP it's not right :)

Don't need to lower it as much as Ryan (his was too low for me), but I went from the JCW suspension (same as the GP) to a properly sorted set-up, and it's night and day different. Lighter 17" wheels and proper suspension make a mile of difference

Can agree with that I like the way mine is tho so am happy to keep it that when the shocks fail then i may uprate them but till that point it will stay standard

I'd agree that it can be improved (what can't, apart from Kate Bush in 1979?), but it still gives a very good account of itself on the 'standard' JCW Setup.

When my last UK JCW was at GTT getting the turbo conversion there was a GP in getting the same work done as mine, but, also a front mount IC.
Wouldn't go down well with everyone, but, boy, what a car it turned into ;-)

Also had suspension and other mods

The R53GP does come with run flats and yes I will be getting rid of them as I hate them. I will just be taking of the original wheels and tyres for a new set. They will be stored for using at shows etc

And I will be making some subtle changes to the car but you'll prob not be able to spot them

The wheels are the biggest downside for me on the GP. I don't like the design, too big, and too heavy

[KenL]

I really like the wheels that come with the JCW, I don't think they would look out of place on a GP.

A GP is surely meant to look 'standard' (if you know what I mean), its unique & part of that is the alloys it came with.
Personally I see nowt wrong with them & they just shout out 'GP' to me

Will obviously have a re vote when I see what you do but I'm half covering my eyes at the thought
