Only things i like about it is the decent looking side skirts for the cooper and the fact that the S has a black plastic grille than chrome. :p
You could go the whole way and get a classic too fiona ;)
It's going to be one of those cars like the 5 series it comes out most folks think it's ugly worse looking and before you know it you are loving the looks.
There's not much of a change, but the ones they've made are not for the better.
I really dislike the grille, and lights.
dont like it at all the only thing ince about it is the inside the dials and stuff but thats it !!!!!
I like it , normally I'm not big on changes ,and leave a good thing alone etc .... but do like this new model .Watch the For Sale Thread:p:D:D

I'm sure you're not the only one excited about the new MINI. I love the pics I've seen so far.:D
But you may be the only one with the cash/funding ability to simply go and buy a new one, just "'cos it's a new one":I. Whereas the rest of us who live in the real world have to wait until we "need" to change to a new one, for whatever reason.:(:I
But not to worry, I'm sure someone on the site will be delighted to pick up an ex-(Scottiecoop)-demonstrator after a few months:D:D. It will come fitted with a tonne of carbon fibre, ice-link, 19" R10767's ultra light carbon fibre wheels, coded arches, JCW seats, leather dash - with you're own requested shade of stitching to match a pullover of Allan's, strut brace and fancy wee valve cap covers with the S logo. Oh no!:eek: Wait, you gave them to me.:eek::D;)
A.:D
:cool:
The rest well don't know what to say really.:(
Sorry Fi, I didn't mean to p!ss you off.Quote:

:D
i just dont like it i think the current mini is so much better looking
it those orange bits in the head light for the indercaters think it looks like some one has slaped a egg on it !!!!!!! :)
I'm not into it at all... the best way i can describe it, is its gone saggy. Its got a saggy arse, and a broken nose! lol
much prefer the new look "S" to the Cooper...:approve:
think I will wait to see what it looks like in the flesh, before checking with the boss if I can get one... :D
If that's the case I'm curious to know what other reaction you expected from a w@nky post like that:question:Quote:

I've deleted my post.
I really didn't want to cause Fi any distress, and meant no harm. It was merely an observation, and carried lots of smilies to reflect the tone.
Fi knows us and knows our sense of humour. Just as we know hers.
Big Col, I wouldn't want you to get the wrong impression, and I can see if this subject is stirred, it will all end in tears.

LOL, had to laugh at that - 'the real world'
in the real 'real world' everyone doesnt run about in cooper s's and X5 jeeps! :eek:
Should that say an X5 or a Jeep.;)Quote:

really like the look of the 's' :D not so sure on the cooper though
Yuck yuck YUCK!!!!!
If it aint broke, dont fix it!
Whats wrong with the MINI how it is?!?!!
Five years down the line, surley its understandable that there HAD to be some small changes...
MINI has had a phenomnenal success over the past few years, and sitting where i am, i can see that the all excitement that surrounds the R56 unbelievable.
This car is going to drive the success of MINI even higher than it is today.
Eben though its ugly?! :dead:Quote:

and there didnt have to be changes.....the MINI is popular as it is, I dont see how making it look vile will help it. My opinion anyway
The interior looks nice, and the new engines and drivetrain should freshen the car up nicely
though i think the front looks higher/rounder, and just more cuddly and less sporty?
hopefully look a bit better in the flesh! :I
I think I remember reading that there did need to be changes made. The current MINI does not meet proposed legislation aimed at minimising injury if a car hits a pedestrian - hence the new cars higher, more rounded front.
Personally I quite like it. If I wasn't skint, I'd buy one.

They're BOTH the wrong way round... look at the petrol cap in the first.. :p:p:p
all these Chealsea Tractors are the same are they not?;);):p:pQuote:

Hmm.. The black grille and the side repeaters look horribly cheap, and those indicators at the front?? What were they thinking? Hope there will be a clear / white alternative available.. :dead:
That said, The interior is growing on me, very BMW, but how on earth are we supposed to be able put a nice stereo in there with an integrated hi fi system? Will there be space for one? Not being funny, but the quality of OEM in car stuff really is terrible compared to aftermarket stuff. I wanna hear my music loud AND clear, with no tinny distortion from crappy cheap speakers..
..No the HK kit won't do the job! ;):p
HERE! Lil ted has a blody good point there!!! Clare??? CLARE????Quote:

well I guess it is a bit like buying a BMW with i Drive you can't change the head unit but maybe you will a get a clean sweep or some other bits to add amps and better speakers.Quote:

Or maybe for a ££££££ you could spec DSP like in other BMW's or maybe they will do 3 levels of sound system all 2 costing more £££ or maybe they will be like Land Rover and sell the motors with standard type Logic 7 systems:cool:.
Yeah... the £££££ is the problem part. Gimme the same amount of cash to go spend on an aftermarket system and it'll wee from a great height on the one from the options list ;):p:D
Watch it Bungle! ;):p:p:p:p:p
Mmmmm I'm not to keen on this new mogel at all, but i must admit I quiet like the sound of this mood lighting thingy... and like the little one has pointed out, aftermarket stereo fitment seems to be a NO NO!!
Will have to wait and see it in the flesh so to speak before I pass final judgement on it. :D
I noticed on Angus' second picture (on the S) that there appears to be a fog light on each side of the rear bumper unlike the Cooper which has it in the middle of the bumper!! :p
Clare what are the new colours? Read words like 'mellow yellow' and 'rooster red' etc etc, any more info?
I really like it and I'll bet that most of you who don't will grow to like them when you see them in the flesh.
Have just been on the official site Here and I wish I was getting one. Looks yummy. :p:p:p:p
Yes. All come from same factory. Same engine, same spec, same body, same colours, same manufacturers.Quote:
