rear hatch

I know the glass is unique to the GP, is the hatch itself unique?

Hatches are actually different between the normal R53 and the GP.

The GP hatch is lighter, as well as having accommodations to mount the GP wing.

GP Hatch: 41-62-7-187-939
R53 Hatch: 41-62-7-139-735

It is mainly lighter because it does not have the rear wiper. If you are looking to mount a CF hatch, I don't think they will have the proper holes for the spoiler and I, personally, would not try and drill into CF to mount the stock GP wing
