    Thanks! I got them from Vividracing. Just a Facebook local group, MINI Guatemala. And Instagram account @clubminiguatemalaoficial, they make events every month, very nice people.

    Agree, I sometimes think about painting my R53 GP in red but that will kill the value of the car.

    Plasti Dip and vinyl are options and they will protect the paint. As far as value goes, there is only one way you are going to get a dollar value out of it and that's park it. No point in having it then.

    All original R53 are only worth money if they are 100% stock with less then 10,000 miles on them.

    Lower mileage the better.

    Can't be many low mile stock ones left. I waited two weeks after I bought mine in 2005 to make it un-stock

    Nice MINI, looks sharp, clean and nice MODs. Where did you source the wheels? Do you have a local club and club website, would like to see what you do in your area.

    Thanks, Don and again, NICE....

    Chili Red is the best color even on fat cars.

    The GP, I think its a better idea to buy a red R53 and put the front bumper, rear, side parts, stickers, etc..

    You can’t fake a GP. You can make a R53 look like a GP but that’s kinda silly.
