GP owners, you’re car covers are coming! Word from sources is that MINI will be making available a car cover specifically designed to fit snugly over the rear spoiler of the GP. The current covers do not account for the carbon fiber aero aid.
In other news MINI has urged all GP owners (and soon to be owners) to keep far away from any automatic car washes as the force of the rollers could do some unwelcome damage to spoiler. It’s unclear if this advise extends to touch-less car washes.

For those of you coming to the Dallas car was, there is a hand was service available for those who prefer not going through the automatic wash.
I’m not sure if it will be free, but it will be available.

So, who was the poor sap responsible for that little service bulletin? :-)

I asked about this long ago … but I still don’t know if it will be an outdoor or indoor cover

There is actually a sticker on the inside of the drivers door that says ‘HAND WASH ONLY’. I wouldn’t trust my GP to a tunnel, and I work for a car wash! Well, and I don’t own a GP ;)

Anyone who washes any Mini, let alone a GP by taking her through a car wash does not deserve the car!
