For those that haven't seen the "main thread" there's photos of the new 2nd Generation MINI, a "facelift" Cooper S and an early 2002 Cooper S together as part of our rolling report on a Mellow Yellow press car. See: http://www.mini2.com/galleries/showgallery.php/cat/2102

Just a bunch of "happy snaps" really, I lined them up by the wing mirrors (roughly), and just snapped away while the light faded.

Hope to improve on that as the week goes on!

It's interesting, changes colour with the daylight.

That's the photos of the three together.

From the front they look quite similar, but that R56 backend just doesn't look "finished" or "intergrated" as the outgoing model? After seeing one last weekend, I think the Aero kit is a must on the new S.

i would have to get an aerokit to hide that back box. I think it looks like a chavved up motor like that. No offence

Paul · Nov 24th, 2006, 09:27 AM

It looks less dirty!

, but it looks higher at the back, I prefer the outgoing models bumper section for sure.

Great pics Paul and nice colour combinations

Have to say it just shows how perfectly proportioned the earlier model was, it's like when you look at the car it just looks right, with the new model there are elements which draw the eye and says to you otherwise, but like anything in life, beauty is in the eye of the beholder
