    That's atrocious!! Those arches and that front end

    The colour is nice (minus the red bits) but it's not a special colour, look at every other hot hatch (with the exception of a few I can't think of) but they're available in a wild colour which is part of owning such a car its meant to be wild and special this isn't.

    I agree with Eddie regarding the arches. They are just ridiculous additions that cheapen the overall look of the car. I’d like to know just how expensive they’d be to replace when some muppet decides to snap a corner off one of them in a car park.

    I also still can not believe that it has no proper rear diffuser as well. The rear diffuser looked gorgeous on the GP2 and the back end of the GP3 just looks boring and “normal”.
    I know that the 2 previous GP’s had slightly boring colours but I do agree that on a car that’s supposed to be a bit mental and track focussed should really stand out from the crowd.
    For me the GP3 has become more and more disappointing as it’s progressed.
    Each to their own though...

    The colour might really pop when clean, dry and shiny - there's some purple in it which I'm looking forward to seeing properly.

    But agree with the looks - not nice, and the extensions look even worse even though we knew they were going to be fitted

    I like the wheels and the black filler cap. That's about it. Expect to see a lot of negative press about those finger-shredding arches.

    I'm not as disappointed by as I once was. And I'm not gunna lie I think the car look like a little weapon. But I do with the designers had got with a subtler way of widening the car.

    To me the aero looks a lot more dtm than btcc. I like the fact the current btcc cars are all just exaggerated road cars they still look like an astra or a corolla. The dtm cars are balls to the wall aero porn and you look what car you are actually looking at the cars could be anything with a badge slapped on and that what nascar is for.

    I dont think it's going to win any beauty contest but I'm sure its gunna go down the road like stink.

    It seems odd that the gp was spotted in the uk on Friday and saturday with full yellow and black camo and then they've gone and left one out in a carpark.

    Well I have to say that I love the colour and think it’s stunning!!! Although it’s grey it’s got hints of purple/blue and I am glad they stuck to the traditional GP colours. I think if they brought it out in vibrant colours it would cheapen it and it would just look like any typical hot hatch which I don’t think it does. Still not liking the arches but I am hoping they grow on me and agree with Ali hopefully they put more graphics on it.

    You're right Laura it doesn't look like any typical hot hatch, it looks boring in comparison. MINI won't be able to give these away. As for cheapen it... I think the arches and the front end have accomplished this in my opinion.
