Them brakes look expencive...

 

[Matt W]

They also look expensive.

Looking forward to seeing them fitted!

 

[SOHROB]

£400-£600 im getting a set for my r56. Great car by the way

 

[withoutabix]

ye £450 i paid for the full set including pads

bargain really over £1k from bmw

 

[withoutabix]

Bloody hell Nate you don't mess about, I can't sell the megane so in gonna have to wait to get a GP :-(

lol they were going cheap so went for it!

i know how you feel dude luckily mine went but it does get frustrating when you have summat to buy!

 

[SOHROB]

i have seen a few sets at the moment, is it a bolt on kit? I still have the runflats which need ditching

 

[withoutabix]

ye bolt on for the GP bar a small mod to the handbrake cable mounting

just need spacers to clear the fronts due to the offset of the GP alloys

ye ditching of the RF's is on my list but ive got decent tread left so canne be bothered at the moment

 

[Gally]

Shame about the standard brakes but the new ones look perfect!

Love the steering wheel looks perfect.

 

[ForceIndia]

Awesome, but I do think the exterior is a mess, just too much going on. There's one round me with body coloured mirrors, small change but infinitely better.

Tracking it?

 

[Ali]

Awesome! Love them, exterior makes it!

 

[Šįk]

Very nice, I nearly bought one of these last year! Very nice indeed!

PSJ.

not sure about the track yet mate, very tempted maybe next summer at some point just too see what its like

 

[Addz]

I'm going to see one of these on saturday

 

[withoutabix]

wikid dude

which one?

 

[Addz]

A GP 0711 , wanted another mini since my last cooper S.. i love the vee, but i want a fun car to drive again i think

 

[withoutabix]

dude i went an looked at that one before i got mine

Two parts of the rear spoiler are fecked missing a chuck out of the carbon and has damage on one of the side pieces of the spoiler thats £1200 worth of damage or £700 for each part from BMW to replace

also has kerbed front wheels again looking at £80-£100 a side

was in decent nick otherwise and has a few carbon JCW goodies but the spoiler damage killed it for me

 

[Addz]

Hmm that's a shame, well i'll go and see it and have a look, it is a pretty good price to be fair! Might be able to wangle some monies off so might not be such a bad thing.

 

[withoutabix]

dont think dan has much in it so getting alot off might be a struggle

just to give you an idea i paid over £1k less than what 0711 is up for!

Btw my old black R26 should still be there!

 

[Addz]

yeah theirs one on autotrader for 1k less with similar milage but private, the good thing with this one is they'll give me a decent price in part ex... i can't be bothered with the hassle of trying to sell privately

ermm yes once you know how lol took alot of fiddling and the whole Speedo dial had to come out but worth it in the end!

 

[Ali]

There Brembo mate

 

[Ali]

Get the brakes on then! Tryin to get a pal to buy one and yours should be enough to tip him overboard!

Can't remember if i linked it earlier, but i had a blast with a GP a couple of months back! SHAT myself! I barely passed him!!! He was smiling, i was greeting! No idea what stage of tuning it was! Seriously impressive performance.

 

[withoutabix]

lol will do mate ive ordered the spacers and bolts so should be soon hopefully!

 

[Addz]

cheers buddy how you get on with 711? noticed its come off dans website? that point to something lol???

Haha yep, picking it up tomorro.
Its not perfect but to be fair mines not either so the little problems can be sorted on the mini.. Got a chap who can sort the carbon in the spoiler out so thats the main thing i was worried about

haha fair play dude

Few things to check mate from my experience

- Exhaust hangers at the very rear can separate from the backbox's leaving massive holes in the top of the box's, luckily im having mine Replaced FOC but worth checking as a new rear section is like £400.
- Top engine mount on the left hand side tend to fail, get a little knocking noise when pulling off also the oil leaks out of them can normally see it in the bay.
- Paint flaking Around the front end especially near the front Vents where the fog lights usually are.

look forward to the pics!

 

[Christopher]

That interior is stunning.

Brilliant cars, they just need toning down on the outside IMO.

 

[BoroGTI]

Are you an Estate agent?

Yeah the bumper needs a bit of paint, its started flaking but i know some good guys through work, I'll give the top mounts a good going over then definatly!

As for the exhaust i'll make sure its okay, it'll be getting binned straight away though for a milltek and janspeed manifold same as my old MCS
