182 Meets JCW GP (lots of pics no 56K)

[Nebdingo]

Went see a mate, hes just bought a new Mini.... I didnt realise it was the big boy! THE JCW GP!! its absolutely stunning and VERY quick!

The build quality is SOOOOO much better than the 182 and the interior is gorgeous! Recaros, Leather the lot! but here they are together.

[Craig.]

Stunning seen a few GP's around my way, a really nice car, defo stand out. 182s looking sweet what exhaust does it have?

 

[RacerStu]

182 look nice, but the mini looks stupid with those wheels and spoiler IMO.

very nice fella

not keen on the mini's wheels or spoiler

 

[AlexS]

Prefer the 182, the wheels and spoiler on that mini are gash, probably cost a bomb too.

 

[W17GLE]

the minis are amazing not keen on the styling but as a drivers car i'd love to have one

 

[JD]

saw one of these in hale the other day, blew smoke all over anything it came up against at the lights, some tried some didnt.

not keen on the spoiler, but i really like the 4 spoke even style wheels, really think they work!!

what facts figs does it do?

[JD]

sits better than the clio, minus the spoiler, in profile as well me thinks

 

[DebV6]

I think your one looks better, not too keen on the styling of the mini, although I'm sure it's fast!

saw but i really like the 4 spoke even style wheels, really think they work!!

All this revision must be really getting to you Jamie! Next you will be ordering the full carzone kit for the 1.72!

 

[W17GLE]

don't know figures but my brother had a standard jcw not the gp and that was faster than my 172 and handled far better and that isn't as powerful as the gp and doesn't have all the suspension mods of the gp

 

[Craig.]

iirc they do 0-60 in 6.5secs, weigh about the same as a ph1 172, bhp is about 220 i might be wrong though

 

[Jamie _Swales]

they both look very nice. A freinds dad has the GP and it is very nice.

Did he downgrade to a wooden house to afford that?

i saw one the other day, sounded good, but don't like all the crap they stuck on it.

Ditto, not a big fan of the wheels or wing. Rest looks alright and they certainly go well enough.

 

[Andy1.2]

Both beautiful cars! Ive been out in a GP at work, very rapid! Worth a test drive any day

 

[John D]

That Mini looks w**k. Got some good hardware beneath that 'styling' though

 

[Harry_manback]

i also dislike the mini, the wing mirrors look stupid, the spoiler is too square.
red gray black and white dont really go together.
its gonna brake down as much as a 182.
its got 2 seats, keep the 182!

nice 182 and mini apart from the spoiler,any pics of the interior?
