Does anyone else think that the Mellow Yellow MINI under the covers has an aero kit on it? Slide 63? The bumper looks wider and different to the cooper S or Cooper normal bumper! EXCITED!!!

Must admit I hope its not, my budget is already shot, not sure I want to add anything else :rolleyes: :D

oh but its exciting though isn't it! I'll be there in 36 hours! WOOHOO! Got to see these beauties myself! Come on Paul its so exciting!!

How cool is the Mini Logo on the rear lights. Slide 22

That Mellow Yellow car under the cover must have an Aero kit! *holds breath for the big reveal*

Sorry for the slow updates, there's no wireless net access here, which is a pain, and lots of smelly sweaty journos crammed into a little room with no aircon, nice. :( ;)

Anywho, big unveil, only one MINI that we hadn't seen and it's (I'm afraid) much of a muchness.

More to follow later, I've had some nice chats with people from MINI design and engineering, more on that later this week.

Just uploading more photos, again unedtted so probably not brilliant, but hopefully give a feel for the car and the event,.

I'll post the link ASAP.

Oh, and no information or hints on anything "future" that we couldn't guess or didn't know already. I'm avoiding posting details until later on when I've compiled information. Don't want to start a landslide of questions I cant answer.

:)

OK, 69 more images here: http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_two/slideshow.php

Don't like the lights in the rear grill... they look a bit untidy to me (not noticed them before).

Will be interesting to see what looks like an aero-kitted Mellow Yellow MCS though. :D

link not working :(

17 inch Cross Spokes look WICKED in black!

Still looking for that Mellow Yellow with the Aero kit :O

looks like there are going to be lots of option pack 'suggestions' like IT Girl & Gasoline to help us through the maze of interior & exterior options

link not working :(


sorted it - there were two a in images - corrected your link Paul. If anyone else had trouble linking it is working now :)

Paul get behind them scenes and get pics of the other 3 waiting in the wings!

Wow great pics! Top work Paul :cool:

Great Scott!

Some of those cars look unfeasibly small!:D

Great work - the car looks great.

The octane version sounds so right, i think i would just trade yellow for red, bit more lusty!

The Yellow bumper looks like it might be the new aerokit.

The R90 in black are so good, anyone knows how much they charge for it in round numbers?

instead of everyone posting that there is the new aero kit there has anyone actually thought that maybe its the one with out the exterior chrome pack;)

bloody great pics , topgear.com are saying something about the traveller??????

so what the point of having a r56 ina bubble and one on display at the same time? wheres the
cooper?

Doesn't look like it without chrome really. Looks like a new style bumper to me.

Will there be a Chrono package option? US Spec MPG figures? Would like to see what Oxygen Blue looks like. thanks.

Hi there, I manage an italian portal about Mini and I'm attending Paris fair too (with my staff)

If you're searching for Aero Kit Spyshots (I guess sort of exclusive)

Have a nice day, and happy new Mini to you all!!!

Strange to see a blue s after having a blue s on show earlier in the day. Another colour would have been nice!

Doesn't work. I don't have authorisation to view it. Sounds good though!

I'm guessing they are the photoshop jobs that have been knocking around here for a while right?

Interestingly just found the photoshop jobs again and it look suspiciously like what is hidden under the covers of the Mellow Yellow MINI at the show.

If you took time to look properly, you'd see that they're definitely two different bumpers. :p

Standard bumper: http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_one/IMG_4047.jpg

Possible aero bumper: http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_one/IMG_4100.jpg

Yup... the yellow one has mesh/grille inserts round the fog lamps for a start ;)

Looking forward to seeing this aero kit :D

Tracing the shape of it though through the car cover it looks fairly restrained...

I stand corrected, done my own bit of investigation, its not a standard cooper or MCS bumper
