in the very worst scenario you could always do this...there is a company in the UK that sells replicas of the GP wheel on ebay.

in two sizes(and your choice in black finish):
18's

I can't believe this. It's now five weeks since the accident and despite what the dealership told me early on last week, the suspension parts have still not arrived.

THIS REALLY SUCKS

NINE weeks and counting. You guys and gals be really careful out there. If you break anything that is specific to the GP, there's no telling how long it will take to repair.

[quote=n0uk;1215106]That sounds like a bad deal for me then.

I got hit this weekend just about 24 hours into owning #1168. It needs a new wheel, bonnet, and replacement of one roof graphic, plus a bunch of other bodywork pieces.


From one GP (0142) to another GP ( 1168) I am so sorry to hear about this. Hope you are OK and don't have to pay for the repairs.. but get them done soon !!

Good luck!!

Where you in NJ for your delivery too... ?

My GP had her rear bumper messed up at time of delivery but it was replaced in Nov. Did you go thru your dealership?

Today, Henry came home, and he's almost back to pristine condition. Still awaiting the custom roof graphic and for the silver insert from the front aero
to be painted and snapped into place.

It feels amazing to back in the driver's seat after 11 1/2 weeks.

Hey GP #706
I saw your GP before you had it.
I took a picture at the dealer a while back
GP #706 picture
roof number
I remember It was the first gp I saw! After looking at yours I had to have one. So I went searching and now I own gp 1670.
