Coi,
With all due respect you will NEVER have a GP unless you get a GP. A GP is much more than the performance!! It is a complete machine and package deal that makes it unique and special. Any attempt to convert a nice S would simply make you a poser
or just a typical MINI owner who youIfies his MINI 
.
Join the club and get a GP; there are good deals out there ....put a rear seat in it....it has been done....and you can change back.......and besides....you have a car (a MINI) to sell that has a better resale value than any other auto. Perhaps you could find a local GP owner who will let you see and drive one....you would be pleased
!
Happy hunting in either case!

^another good point! plus i didnt mean to make an exact replica, just a few tidbits that i like from the GP
i know its not gonna be the real thing, in some cases i can make it better, but i know deep down inside its NOT a GP and im OK with that

Well it was not specifically called the JCW body kit.
The Aero Kit was a dealer installed option available for any Mini.
It included a front spoiler, black front grills (3 pieces), rear valance, and side skirts. I believe it was a $1200 option plus dealer paint and install.
Here is a link to the OEM kit from Mini Mania:
