Pls donate your vin #!! :-)

Hi! I have a R53 JCW mini, and I am customizing it. I need some mini GP parts, namely the intercooler and the cowl scoop.

Now, the only way I can get these parts is through the Orlando mini dealer, using a customers donated GP vin number. The dealer will then order spare parts under that vin, and I will then buy them off the mini dealer.

If someone would be wonderful enough to PM me a vin, it woud make my day bc I could get finally get my parts and keep the mini project going!!

Thanks guys!

You might want to check into buying the GP parts from Way Motor Works:

wow. this coming from a guy who just SOLD his GP...

i just want the cowl scoop. I dont want to spend $200 on a dual set of scoops, (specially since they are not stock).

i KNOW i can get "other gp parts" at like, waymotor works. that stuff isnt hard to find from multiple vendors.

SO, in direct reply to YOUR post, im NOT a "poser", since EVERYONE can buy basic GP parts all over the internet!

So, please, all i want is the sweet @ss cowl scoop, which can ONLY be purchased through a legitimate dealership with a "donated" GP vin #. Please help!

YES i sold it but still care about my fellow owners and appreciate the GP. Nothing personal man. If you owned a GP I think the chances are good you MAY feel the same way. Good luck!
