Was wondering if there are vendors that offer "GP" exterior parts?

I'm referring to the front lower lip and rear bumper lip that seems to be different but could me modified to fit a stock Cooper "S" bumper. Also the rear diffuser parts in the lower bumper(between the reverse light) on the Limited Edition GP seems really nice too

Any help to locating these parts would be much appreciated

Is this question a dumb "newbie-owner" questions

Someone please advise if the GP parts could be obtained from a dealer or aftermarket. Thanks

As far as I understand, all the GP parts can be ordered from the dealer, but you need to provide proof that you're indeed a GP owner. One idea might be to hook up with an existing GP owner and see if they are willing to order the particular parts you're interested in.

Unfortunetly this is what i've come to discover as well. I've also heard rumors that dealerships will/may require photo evidence to determine if parts are really needed.

I really wish somebody out there would make a GP spoiler to fit an R53.
