Just took possession this morning - I am the 4th (and last!) owner - this beauty only had 16,000 miles on her. Waiting for production number. (By the way - she was originally purchased by a dealer in Vermont, whose home base was in California, who then sold to someone in Seattle and was then purchased by the man I bought her from - he and I both in Minnesota).

And this is what I just received from the Facebook folks -
"Congratulations on your new-to-you JCW GP2, J! We hope you understand that we cannot provide you with the production number."
Any ideas now how I can get my production number? Will it be through my MINI dealer?
TIA.
And here is Facebook Mini’s second response:
Hi J - A production number is how a vehicle is identified prior to having a VIN assigned. We can confirm your JCW GP2 was #11 of the limited production run.
Need some experienced eyes for the back side of this GP2
The trunk doesn't look like it's aligned, GP logo is off center as well, maybe the trunk is replaced? The diffuser doesn't seem to fit perfectly as well, maybe the whole back end was disassembled and put back incorrectly? A rear end should definitely pop up in Carfax which it didn't.

Can’t really see what’s wrong with the diffuser but both the GP badge and the JCW badge seems to be tilted.
There is a gap between outer diffuser and inner diffuser, not very even, as well as the rear hatch, you can see the left gap and right gap is a bit uneven, especially on the chrome metal part above the rear lights
Is it possible to get these parts realigned? I am getting the car shipped to me as we speak. Want to do a total refurbish to like-new condition. If there are any good mechanics in NYC area, please recommend them as well. Love this car.
Follow up on the imperfections I noticed before, I have comprehensively checked a lot of GP2s on BAT and elsewhere. seems like for all GP2s, left and right gap of the rear hatch chrome bar are all inconsistent in gap size. So are diffusers, seems very common to be imperfect on these plastic parts. The owner also showed a GP logo replacement from mini dealer, as well as original vin number behind the rear license plate. So I guess either it's just a shitty mechanic from Mini who decided to tilt the GP logo, or every Mini GP2 has been rear-ended and fixed on their own.
I am fortunate enough to have a few iconic sports cars. This GP is a ball to drive. Just replaced tires and aligned it. Can’t wait to get it to the track. It is now sporting 15k miles.
Was playing Forza Motorsport 7 and noticed that the 2013 R56 GP2 they have in game is US GP2 0337 and my curiosity landed me in this thread.
I see that US GP 0293 is not on the registry. I have owned US GP 0293 since January of 2020. Bought it secondhand from the original owner with 25,000 miles on it. I've wanted this car since the day I first laid eyes on it, feel free to add me to the registry. I am unsure what my actual production number out of 2000 is.
Hello!!!, I’m the new owner of #0320 and he now lives in Morris Plains, NJ. His name is Rodney! Motor on! I was the owner of #0188, sold it, and now I'm back!
Sorry for the late reply, never got a notification about the thread.
I ordered them brand new from Vivid Racing / BBS North America. They took about six months to arrive from Japan. COVID-19 delays did me dirty, but they were well worth the wait.
Thank you for having the GP2 registry and updating it
customer.services@mini.com will not provide production # & Facebook GP owners club has yet to approve my request to join after approximately a month. I would say both have gone stale and are no longer ways to get production #. My last of the VIN DT722342.
New owner here ...
Previous: 0396 - kk moto (AZ) Prod # 1552
Updated: 0396 - GP396 (TX) Prod # 1552
The car has had an interesting journey since kk sold it a year ago, so when I get some time I will make a proper introduction thread about how it got to where it is now.
