Just purchased GP0489 this weekend....

I've wanted one of these for quite some time and the dream became a reality this weekend. GP0489 was delivered from New Jersey on Saturday to my house and I must say, I'm very impressed so far. Few things I'd like to replace on it, but I'm in no rush. Car appears to be stock, looking forward to getting it up on jack stands this weekend. 45,xxx miles, one owner, car was originally purchased from Herb Chambers MINI of Boston. First thing I did this weekend was removed the window tint - it was done poorly in my opinion and so far I prefer the look without the tint.

It looks clean and it looks as if you have a nice garage to keep it that way.

Nice and welcome!

If I didn't need back seats, a GP2 would also be mine! haha

Back seats are overrated.

Awesome, nice find. Nice garage. looks stock to me for except for the aftermarket stubby. And the MINI factory Rally lights on the grille, which have different covers ?

I cannot tell if the covers say MINI on them .


Thanks and good luck with the GP.
