I do believe you are left with holes Marina. options would be to plug them with rubber caps, or dont take off the roof rack...

The R56/R55 roof rack mounts on the edge and only requires small holes in the black rubber trim, which you can barely see when the roof rack is off. It does not involve cutting holes in the roof like you have to with a R50/R53.

I hate those adr wheels but I easily can get my hands on a new set, so I was not too worry about them..but the H O L E S!!! why???

I agree, however, the JCW cover does have a JCW Works sticker on it. We have a reply from the seller that said he replaced the GP wheels with a higher performance wheel set.

I saw this listing on ebay also, looked like the engine was missing some GP elements. I got additional pictures from the seller of the damage prior to repairs...check out my link below. Didnt look like the damage would warrant a salvage title or engine swap...strange.

I was looking at driving out to check this out, the car is about an hour north of me.

I looked into buying this car to flip it and came to the conclusion that it has been wrecked twice.....
the pictures that the link above sends you to must be the 2nd wreck.
The first wreck was so bad that they replaced the GP motor with a cooper S (hense the stock intercooler with JCW cover...I would image the JCW kit was installed to get it back to as close as possible to a GP)
This is all just a guess.....too bad...I would have loved to run a GP for the summer and then give her off to a loving owner.....
If it is too good to be true.......you know the rest...
