GP Rear Wing

I just picked up my "08 JCWS and would like to adapt the rear wing from a GP. Does anyone know if you can order one (wing) seperate?

There was another thread on the GP wing. You can probably get the wing from the dealer, but the way the GP wing is mounted, the read windshield is notched to accomodate the bolts.
I'll try and find the thread.

I'm pretty sure you can't. The rear wing on the GP attaches to the whole hatch in the back, rather than the roof, you'd either need significant modification, or you'd need the entire MINI GP Hatch (Or maybe it's just the window, I can't remember).

Details in this post

MINI Also doesn't sell GP parts to anyone without a GP VIN #.

Also, you should remember that you purchased an R56 and the GP is an R53 so it won't even be as simple as the above mentioned threads since every body panel was redesigned.

Wait a few months as when the Challenge series Minis come out the wing is like the GP wing and it is the R56 body.
