The champagne Cooper S did not have the chrome exterior pack. Neither did the Yellow Cooper S and I did think that lookeed better. The larger handle then blends in and doesn't look as large. Sorry I didn't get too many photos as some were covered very well by Paul.

Think the sat nav still only had the one rev counter on the steering wheel. It just informed you of more information on the little screen. I think the Champange Cooper S had the storage pack on and the wood panel could move if you pushed it but I couldn't figure out how to get into the behind trim cubby hole. Must be a secret!

The mini boot is all carpeted now instead of the plastic which does look better.

The silver Cooper had the half leather seats -Ray Red version. The leather had started creasing due to all the peopole sitting in it. After seeing it I'm going for lounge or gravity I think. They don't look as nice as I thought. No blue, yellow or beige ray on the stand.

It was so busy on the stand as its quite squeezed in. Overall I really like the new MINI and the finishes were very good. The replacement panel where the wrap around glass used to be is of the same finish as the front A pillar. Its black and shiny and is quite fine (would prefer the old wrap glass though!) Couldn't get to see the new interior light pack. Shame really!

But heres some more photos.
