The MINI John Cooper Works GP is a two-seat

The add-on parts significantly limit ground
clearance. When driving, make sure that
there is sufficient ground clearance, such as
when entering underground parking garages,
driving over curbs or when driving in winter; oth-
erwise damage to the add-on parts may
