This thread keeps tickling my gooch, I wish they had done a GP2 clubman as that would have me scrabbling for it.

Now a GP2 clubman, that's an idea....��

Is it an abomination and will we kick off it is not a 'genuine' GP and try and set it on fire at meets... Absolutely.

Will that stop it from looking and being awesome?... Absolutely Not.

I'm sure there's already people infuriated by the JCW bumpers anyway...

It's more likely to become a MINI Challenge than any GP replica anyway. I've seen diffusers on them, but has anyone fitted a wing to one yet?

There is a clubman with a GP style wing of sorts, made out of metal from memory. Im sure it was at MITP this year.

Little bit of an update, unsurprisingly the challenge exhaust lasted just over two weeks on the car, sold it on last week and the next chap has already advertised it for sale [emoji23], really quite loud even with a JCW centre.
Then last night I did something I'd never though I'd do and sold the BBS RC's ??*♂ dropped them to a chap who plans to stick them on his mint GP1. That's the bad news over with, good news is I've got some dollar burning a hole in my pocket and I'm ordering some brand spankers wheels! Got my eye on the usual culprits, gotta be 17x7.5 minimum of et35.
This also means I'm probably going to be selling the team dynamics soon too

Lol I'll keep you posted!

Ordered some new wheels yesterday, can't wait for winter to fuck off now! I'm in two minds what tyres to fit on them, I've got a brand new set of Toyo R888R's in 205/45/17 which i may stick on, or thinking maybe Pilot sport 4's, cups or AD08R's, anyone know how well these compare in outright grip?

Year round tyres?

 

[Alski]

Not run the toyos

But out of the other 2, I'd fit the Yokohama all day long, currently have pilot 4 on the Sd




(Sd is the daily driver) Yokohama will be going on the roadster if I can flog the oem ones in the summer

Naaaa hardly use it in the winter

I loved my AD08’s but they’re getting close to proper semis and standing water is a thing in the UK.

PS4S FTW. They’re murdering everything else in the group tests.

A few pics from when I washed it last, had to drive it into work this week so not this clean now!
The 888r's are better in the ice than the torrential rain! Lol
Can't wait until the new wheels arrive then roll on summer!

So after a few views, looks like I'll be keeping the GP, (did kinda price it waaaaaay to high on purpose) which is good as my wheels finally decided to turn up, I sealed them with some gtechniq C5 and chucked some R888r's on. To be honest the GP2 does already feel 'finished' but I do keep looking at hybrid turbos, shiney engine parts and decent suspension. I guess I'll see what happens with the R53 and go from there.
