    I think the all white is rather nice.

    I just think your eye is attracted to skirts over that of just seeing a slab of white door. Naturally our eyes are drawn to pleasant shapes so when I look at the car above my eye jumps about without noticing the expanse of white.

    I do think the black band works better on the version without the skirts as the band adds that wee bit interest in an otherwise bland part of a very nice car. With the skirts you've got it covered so no need to add anything.

    Mini as it was. As it is. As it always will be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, it's up to you to decide if it counts!

    AAAAAAAAARRRRRRGHHHH!
    Well I'm throwing a spanner in the works, but I actually like the way your car is just now Euan. I like the fact it looks stock and to the unsuspecting Chav who decides his Corsa SRI can have you, you'll make him look rather foolish when you plant it not that I promote racing, just putting chavs back in their place.
