This is mine Have had the car for 4 months already has 1,765 miles and have spent around 11K in mods. I have not gone cheap with this car and I only buy parts from vendors likeDuelL AG, iPE to name a few. I get a lot of criticism from other GP Owners but at the end of the day it's my car and my money. The way I see it is the GP it's very exclusive only 2,000 made right? I just want to be different from the other 1,999 i'm still far from finishing still have plans for this car

How did you black your gas cap and door handles?

Very simple...plasti-dip them. Do not take them off. Mask them off with blue painter's tape and newspaper like you would paint a car. It takes 4-5 light coats. 30 minutes dry time in between each coat and then let dry 5 hours after last coat. A little tip for around door handles...put tape up to the rubber seal and paint that too. We tried it without painting the seal, and when you took the tape off, some of the plasti-dip came off. Had to re-do them. We just did all of the trim on my GP and my husband's Paceman this past weekend. They look awesome. It is tedious work, but well worth the effort. Hope this helps.

Man that White looks killer. Wish Mini would come out with a Alpine White or something.

I'm tempted to wrap my GP like this white one. I think the most appealing part of this color is the lack of gloss. I can't tell with the resolution and overcast conditions but it appears to be near-matte finish.
