I saw this at iHobby in Chicago last weekend, I must admit I'll be buying one, or two, for myself.

For some reason I knew you would want to do this. The price is not too bad. I was thinking 300.00 range when I first looks, but someone will have to get the right headlight stickers unless you are converting to Xenons yourself

I just added two more RC MINIs to the collection, a classic Monte Carlo edtion from Italy(like the GP) and a MCS CR/W with white strips.

I you could see my collection

That would be a fun toy to bring to the next mini get together . Get one and paint it to match your own car if you do not have a GP. Neat little toy !
