    Really interested to see what the orange looks like in the metal. Any news of what colours are being dropped I've heard volcanic is one of them.

    Liking the Solaris orange, but would have to see it in person to know if it was orange enough for me lol.

    Not sure about the light changes, the rears are a bit naff.

    Nice to see black surrounds finally make it as an option though.

    Tail lights are horrible. Good to see we are finally getting some black bits as an option

    I really like the changes made to the headlights. Makes the front look a bit sleeker. Looks better having the full led ring and I like the integrated indicator.

    I think the rear lights could have been done better I like the union flag design. But I do prefer them to pre lci never liked the current lights on anything other than a red car they look humongous. If they had been able to do something closer to the GP and ev concept with a 3d proud design would have been better I think.

    Don't really understand the big deal with the badge change. It looks a little more modern I suppose.

    Having seen one real picture of solaris orange it does seem like it's going to a really nice pearly colour a lot like Peugeot power orange which I'm a big fan of

    It's cotton buds you'll need to clean the new badge. I can see a lot of OCD folk getting angsty


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs

    As a result of negative reviews north of the border, Mini reveals 'The Nicola'



    I'd like those new Mini badges, give me an excuse to break out the detailing brushes again..... they're gathering dust just now, as is the bucket, and the shampoo....
