Will MINI dealer sell me GP side skirt/panels? If not, do you guys know where I can purchase?

 

I believe with a GP vin number you may be able to get a pair....

 

Looking them up on the OEM parts website it shows they are available but with a core charge, so if this means the old damaged ones need to be turned in ? I do know the dealer will ask for a VIN number to order these parts.

 

You can buy, however, the aero kit skirts by themselves, if you wish. I wasn't big on the aero bumpers, but I love the side skirts... They are sold by the dealer or at www.outmotoring.com

 

Thanks mate, but I'm interested in GP side panels, not the aero kit. IMO -with the GP side panels, you do not have to buy the front bumpers. The GP side panels blends well with OEM bumpers.

 

If you happen to get a set of the GP skirts the black trim wraps under the car and will cover the jack points. So you have to also purchase the GP jack point extensions. It, the skirts, tie into the underbody areo package, this is supposed to cut drag.

 

Many GP parts are only available to dealers who can show photo evidence of the damaged part which needs replacement. Don't know if the side skirts are included in that group (the reason is partly to maintain exclusivity, and partly to protect the limited stock of spare parts)

 

I bought my JCW side skirt from my dealer. You can fine it from dealer.
