Hello - Mini GP2 from the UK

Hi all,

Joined to get some advice on some work I was doing to my new GP2, but realised I neglected to say 'hello' so here goes...

Bought a 2012 GP a few weeks ago as a fun/Sunday car alongside my F10 M5 which is my daily driver.

So far, I've added a stubby aerial, replaced a cracked front grill, added Bluetooth, swapped to LED sidelights and replaced a roof decal - followed by a full detail. He's looking mint now!

Had a couple of country blasts already, looking forward to many more.

Cheers! Not had it long enough to take many pictures but here's a shot of it parked up on the day I brought it home...



As soon as the weather improves I'll be sure to add some more...

Thanks! Yup, gave him a little brother to play with Despite the very obvious differences, the BMW DNA shines through them - both fantastic drivers' cars, both brilliant at what they do and both make me LOL every time I drive them.
