The limited edition GP has a larger intercooler than the standard model.

It also has a special bonnet air duct, intercooler cover, and two longer rear mounting brackets. I really like the fit between the IC cover and the bonnet duct; there is a small hood at the back of the cover that redirects air to the last three rows. My standard intercooler’s last row is covered by the standard duct foam rendering it next to useless, so although the GP IC has only two extra rows, the cover effectively adds three.

Retrofitting the GP IC didn’t pose any problems other than a little trimming of the duct and pressing indentions into the hood insulation.

Unfortunately it can’t be purchased in the U.S. without a GP VIN and a photo of a damaged part. I obtained mine through an individual in Austria.
