    I was at Spa Francorchamps this weekend and there were 2 new Minis there. Both Cooper S on 06 plates with the badges taped up.

    Can't help but think the exterior looked really bland! The interior looked quite cool though.

    anyway here is a pic

    Who's idea was it that that black grille looked good?
    They need a new job working for Kia :dead::dead:

    There's just nothing about that which stands out like the current model..
    Anybody know if there's a dealer-fit option to get rifd of the awful yellow front indicators?

    HOW BLAND IS THAT??! Well done MINI! How to make the 'S' look like a base model ONE - and not as good looking as the 'current' ONE either.

    Do they actually have any current designers at MINI who know how to make a car look good, or have they all topped themselves after the horrors of the GP Bodykit and Wheels? By the way, I've read that the GP's massive rear 'Strut Brace' isn't really that 'structural', but there for legal reasons.....to stop your messages sliding forward. Methinks the original petrolhead MINI Team have been replaced by cuddly people from the Early Learning Centre! I despair.

    2008 R56 COOPER S, Pepper White, Black Roof, 'John Cooper' Signature Side and Bonnet Stripes, JCW 'Stage 1' Tuning Kit, Forge Intercooler, Milltek Downpipe & Sports Cat, ALTA Induction, Chris Knox/DNA Remap, JCW/Brembo Brakes, Limited Slip Diff, JCW Suspension and Front Strut Brace, 17" Crown Spokes with Non-Runflat 205/45x17 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres, JCW/Recaro leather Seats, JCW Sideskirts, Chili Pack, Front Spotlights. Still got my old Hendrix Badge blu-tacked to the dash!
