But there are some points which are more true to the mini on the R56, such as the one piece grill that stays down when the bonnet lifts.

I remember when I brought my first new MINI, the grill was an area that I felt had not been considered properly the way that part was attached to the bumper and part to the bonnet. Infact the shape of the nose on the Cooper with it been so angled made me decide I would not be buying one of those, as it looked totally different to the mini shape in profile.
