I like those wheels

Baz F · Sep 30th, 2006, 12:05 AM

I've spent ages going through this thread...

My enthusiasm is building..can't wait to see the new model in the metal now.
Thanks Paul, some awesome stuff there...

mGP · Sep 30th, 2006, 12:09 AM

Like the Aero Kit; Would also like to see one in the metal now; But I still can't get over those Side Repeaters; they look awfull; Not much you can do about them either.

Paul; Little off topic here, but is the Mandarina Duck luggage carried over from the last collection or is it a re-designed range.

the mandarin duck collection of luggage is in the new MINI collection brochure which is for 2006/07

strange that none of the cars they've shown have sat nav or auto air con. i expected the yellow car to be specced up to the eyeballs. alloys look lovely though, as do the new aero side skirts.

& still amber indicators on a S?

Well, no actually. It was rather odd, the main S (Laser Blue that was on the main section, originally under the cover) had clear front side and rear indicators, the others didn't. Looks much better with clear!

They have clear lenses but the photos catch the reflection of the amber bulb underneath. If you look at the photos shot across the side of the bonnet you can see the clear lens. Just need a silver vision / LED / Osram Diadem bulb.

Paul · Sep 30th, 2006, 09:40 AM

This one had orange housings:
http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_on....&currentPic=9
http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_on...&currentPic=46

As did this one:
http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_fi....&currentPic=4

But the "main" one had clear:
http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_tw...&currentPic=29
http://www.mini2.com/images/paris_tw...&currentPic=56

As said above, stick some clear bulbs in the one with clear housings and you're there. No idea why companies don't do that from the factory, would only take one to do it and I bet others would follow.

Olly. · Sep 30th, 2006, 10:35 AM

Paul have you seen any pics of an S without the Chrome Line Exterior? Can't think that i've seen any without yet.

Paul · Sep 30th, 2006, 10:37 AM

There's some on either newmini2006.com or mini.com, cant remember which. I prefer it without.

frd · Sep 30th, 2006, 10:53 AM

Is that Cloth Chequered in the Yellow mini? Doesn't look like leather.

Paul · Sep 30th, 2006, 11:03 AM

I didn't see it in person, but it is cloth, but I don't think chequered.
