looks a bit too rounded and sitting too high from the ground especially at the rear, the grill is the most concerning thing for me the shape is too small and I think it should cut into the bumper more like the current design.

but will hold off on saying if I love or hate it until I see it totally finished

Its only a forum you know!

Is that bump on the bonnet where the scoop is for real?

It looks as high as a 4 X 4 from the rear view

They're making these so you can put f'n ugly 20" DUBS on a MINI

Just shoot me

i totally agree, the wheels look way too small, it no where near fills the arches

and i hate the fact that you can see the wheel axles from the back, you can see them on the current ones. id like mini to cover them up, possible with a lower splitter

This is starting to look a lot more like a MINI. I hope it doesn't look too terrible when they take off the tape.

I think I might like the way the scoop looks on these mules. Either way, I'm keeping my '03 S, but maybe now I'll be able to buy a second MINI someday.

A No No

Helping me to make up my mind either to keep my present MCS or buy a nearly new old model next year. On the basis of what I have seen the new one is too big and too blobby. Not good to look at whatever the benefits internally.
