Notice the indicators in the mirrors and the side vents seem to have dissapeared..
Jury still out on the front end though...

The Cooper S in the main photo shows an interesting 'crease' line back from the scoop.....

is the fitment of that roof bar different to the current car?
could this be something that we can all do without the need for cutting holes in our roof as it looks like it fits on the lip of the roof

At last! A picture from AutoExpress that we can actually believe!
The front end will be a
lot more bulky than before and no real attempt has been made to hide it; even the Traveller concept car had a swept forward windscreen that helped to hide the bulk of the new nose.
I fear that these photos are now getting close to the finished article and I really, really, don't like what I'm seeing

the style of grill shouldnt' effect that, look at the classic, that grill is fixed
But from what I have heard on here, spots will not be offered for this one, due to pedestrian impact testing
Unless they offer them as a factory option and sit them flush in the grill, that might work
