    I guess you could build up the performance and handling, but can't imagine personalizing the exterior of an original GP

    I think he is going to stay with the "Dark" theme..."Dark Pacman"

    MINI did such a nice job with the GP-1. Can't imagine changing the look. One could mod the important bits that make it handle. Maybe squeeze a few more pony's out of it. :arf:

    Watching this one! Not sure how you top the Helmet! :confused:

    Best of luck on the sale! Enjoyed seeing Helmet on the Dragon.

    I agree, a GP1 needs to be entirely original all the way including an OEM battery.

    Sorry to hear you are selling your Coupe but glad to hear you are staying MINI.:Thumbsup:

    If you go by the definition that has kind of been established here on what justifies an original Gen 1 then there are a few non-original Gen 1s out there that could be “sacrificed” for the sake of individuality. Look forward to seeing what you decide on.

    The only visual change on a GP I would do is paint the rear calipers to match the front. That little extra red will really speed it up.
