Any ideas of websites to where I could get OEM GP parts? I need a side skirt and possibly a front bumper for my lil guy....may or may not have put it in a ditch yesterday...

 

BAHAHA.... classic!

I know penskeparts.com lists them on their site. I do not know of the availability though. Makes the rest of us want to stock up just in case!

 

Sorry to hear this! But I hope you were having fun just before .

Penske can get the parts.

 

Sad story, but I was "hyper-miling" just before and the GP just washed through a curve on me...I was going about 30mph, but I think I slightly darted in the turn giving just enough lift on the front tires to reduce grip... Not doing that again!

 

Ahhh got ya. Hope you get it sorted out.

 

I can't seem to find the part on penske with the same part number that is actually on the side skirt... Looking at the diagram I think it may be 51710392891 but I'm still not sure..

Going to get an estimate tomorrow, luckily the side skirt doesn't need painted!

 

RealOEM is another good place to obtain part numbers:

Along with Penske Parts, Pelican Parts can get GP parts once you know the part number:

Or IMBM Parts:

gp89, anytime you have questions about GP parts, let us know! Send us an email with the last 7 digits of your VIN and we will be happy to get you pricing and availability from MINI.

 

We can get you any of the GP parts you need, but be ready they are not cheap. I just had to get a rocker and bumper for my GP. and yes the rocker has to be painted, it doesn't come prepainted, I think it should but didn't.

 

Wow that's crazy, I thought it would have been pre-painted as well.... I took the GP in for a estimate at my local body shop and nearly choked on the $3,000 estimate....

 

Yup it is crazy, I'm still kinda tempted to just put the regular aero side skirts on the car, think it might look good.

 

WHAT?!

 

YEAH! I have to get the side moulding replaced, the side skirt replaced and painted and the front bumper replaced....

 

Folks, folks....You gotta remember...We're talkin' BMW here. That stands for "Bring Money Withya"!
