Determining Model and Finish

[rphox2003]

I just bought a 2006 Mini Cooper. How can I tell which model (series) and interior (1st or 2nd generation) I have? And what is Ice?

Identifying a MINI by VIN - The MINI Wiki

There is information in the FAQ on upholstery and interior trim, although that on the 2nd Gen might not be up-to-date.

ICE = In Car Entertainment

ICE is In Car Entertainment
but
Ice is generally more often known as frozen water

AFAIK 1st gen, headlights go up with the bonnet, 2nd gen, headlights stay where they are.
