    Not feeling it. I like the Coupe, but not as a GP. IMO if the badge makes another appearance it needs to be on the hardtop.

    I think it should stay as a Hardtop only offering. I sure hope they don't spread over all platforms....

    The fixed wing parts illustration is in the parts catalog but the only numbers available are the ones for the stripes. I'm in Germany next week and I'm going to find a dealer to see if they have numbers yet over there. I'm wanting the fixed wing bad!!!

    :cornut: Attached to the Boot lid(?), it(spoiler and boot lid) better be well braced. I've seen young guys around here(college town) do that and they ripped off at highway speeds:eek6:. Hilarious:lol: but dangerous to the other drivers.:Thumbsup:

    Word has been floating around that the next Gen GP will be making an appearance at MINI United this May. After a little more reading it turns out according to Motoringfile, the GP badge will be its own high performance group, braking away from JCW package. According to the artical the whole line will be available with a GP badge this year. What a let down.
