    Blank spaces don’t bother me. If you want lots of spec and toys the GP is the wrong car and a 60th Edition or Challenge 210 would be a better option. In my opinion a GP isn’t about lots of spec.

    I would agree if the gp wasnt coming with so much standard kit this time anyway

    To my knowledge the only spec the gp ever got was heated seats

    Don’t think they are coming with a lot. They have the centre screen but MINI don’t do a car without the screen now.

    Just cancelled my order as not all UK cars are sold so going to wait and hopefully get one later with discount or a used one with low mileage.

    On another note the car as a whole looks brilliant and far better. Than what the test cars in the camo lead us to believe.

    Bit crap that it doesnt actually go into any detail at all on the recycling of the carbon. There is 1 line where it states that the carbon come from the production of the i cars.

    Also from looking at the material I would say it's closer to the Lamborghini forged carbon than a regular weaved carbon.

    The forged carbon is also recycled then it goes through a very similar process to regular prepreg carbon where the fibre is impregnated with epoxy resin. By manufacturing the carbon with epoxy already in it you save weight by reducing excess resin. Then you have a prepreg sheet of recycled carbon.

    Looking at the arches in the close up picture there isnt a weave it looks much more like chopstrand mat, which to me says the excess carbon from i3 and i8 production had been chopped up and then turned into a prepreg sheet.
